I think the quality of Fourmaux has at least made it worth watching this year. No one wants to see a championship be quite so one sided but I can still appreciate watching a world-class driver absolutely dominate.

He won’t be back, as it was all about developing the Fiesta Rally2 but it would be nice to see the BRC try and build on this for next year - which they won’t.

I don’t think this ‘Gentleman driver+’ status is doing anything for anybody. Either the BRC should just become clubman-length rallies again - but a mixed-surface championship to differentiate it from the BTRDA or ARC - or it should try to attract a field of drivers of Fourmaux’s calibre to elevate it to the same level and stature as BTCC, BSB, BGT et al
