British & Irish Rally calendars 2022

Three Shires definitely cancelled.

I find it very strange that they initially said it was being postponed, but the closed road laws don’t have any provision for postponement (oops) and so they’d have to apply for a new MRO which needs to be done a minimum of 6 months in advance. And they wanted to run it in November Organising team too inexperienced in these matters I think. Let’s hope that the successful events can share the best ways of working so that we can have more successful events around the UK. Still early days into closed road rallies. Do think more people need to help out with the organisational side of things which is a mammoth task, personally think it should be a condition of getting a competition licence.

Oh dear me, I don't know what to say......


However, I've just been on the Facebook page, and now understand why. FFS...."so we don't cause offence to people at this time".
We (as a country) have completely lost the plot this week....cancelling/closing everything.


All the planning, time, and man hours have gone......One feels for the organisers, and that they felt they had to postpone. However, thinking they could get a date within a month or two seems wishful thinking. So it's a cancelled event.....

Strange the Promenade Stages Rally went ahead on the 9/10th Sept right after the death of HM The Queen. Not closed roads as such as the are privately owned, but they're used by the public and close to housing at New Brighton.

Looks like the Wyedean will be a spectator event after all....

They surely had no other option; it was a recipe for confusion. The only way of stopping people turning up (including MTB riders) was to try to close the forest - which is next to impossible.

Interesting spectator info for the Wyedean Rally on the 15th October.

Now amended..looks like they've changed their minds.

Still a few entries trickling in but struggling for overall numbers. A few of the historics out for a bit of practice of the stages ahead of next year’s RAC possibly?

I’m out with Brian again in his Millington Escort. Did a few of the stages on the Border Counties in May, but not been in Florida since about 2017.
Probably my last event for a while so will be aiming to enjoy it as much as possible
