Rally3 use in the UK

[J4MIE]

Just so happens a Fiesta Rally3 appears on the entry list for East Riding Stages so not a long wait to see one competing in 2023.

As above, they’re thinking of doing the full asphalt championship - East Riding is the first round.

And Edwards is helping Eamonn Kelly in his prep for Rally Sweden (in a Rally3).

I would imagine putting Matt Edwards or similar in a Fiesta Rally3 car on a BTRDA round would create some intrigue and show the pace and how close to the top the car could be at a much cheaper price than Rally2.

I suggested this to Matt on Instagram and the replied 'That would be good' and 'Anything would be a bonus at the moment!'.

From https://www.britishrallychampionship...registrations/

“… the British Rally Championship topflight for Rally2 and Rally3 machinery…”

However, from https://www.britishrallychampionship...egulations.pdf

4.1 CLASSES OF CARS
…
BRC3 | Rally 3…

So in the marketing spiel we’re led to believe there is no specific class for the Rally3s and if anyone were to enter the BRC with one they’d be lumped in to the overall standings only. But the official document makes reference to a BRC3 class for Rally3s, so perhaps they do hope/expect that some competitors will enter in a Rally3 for class honours…

Johnnie Mulholland on the entry list for MW Stages in a Festa Rally 3 so hopefully a few more to keep him company

He's from N.Ireland. Are there any owned by drivers over here yet ?

The BRC are delighted to have one Rally 3 registered:

Will Hill has entered his Rally3 at Snetterton next weekend as prep for East Riding. Think Special Stage will be doing some live coverage from there.

The first stage is live and the Rally3 car has just gone through...

Christ, why do rally clubs think putting everything on facebook is the way forward? I can barely ever see any videos linked via this forum or found with a google search. Surely Youtube access is more ubiquitous?

[Fast Eddie WRC]

I've basically been forced to join FB purely to watch live rallying.

I agree that YT is so much easier but there must be some reason why coverage is mostly on FB now.
