British & Irish Championships 2024

[archie106]

Full calendar for the Stellantis Cup is now on ewrc:

Really nice mix of events, 5 tarmac, 3 gravel. All events alongside either Irish Tarmac Championship or BRC.

As an observation, Rali Ceredigion is now looking very full in terms of number of championships... ERC, BRC, MSUK Asphalt, Stellantis Cup, plus other drivers not doing a full championship - I hope they are able to increase the maximum entry for this year, or I can see quite a few disappointed locals missing out.

I hope they are able to increase the maximum entry for this year, or I can see quite a few disappointed locals missing out.

I don't know what the maximum entry was for the last few years but it was 120 (with a reserve list of 50) in 2019. According to EWRC they started 106 in 2022 & 107 in 2023, which may be a full list with a few last-minute drop outs. Whether they can increase this will depend to some extent on the route and schedule. If you are repeating stages you need enough time after the last car through the first time to clear up any mess before you send the first one in for the second time so if the loop is too short you need to find somewhere for them all to hang around a while or you need to reduce the number competing. In any case, apart from a very few designated events in the legislation, it isn't possible to run more than 180 cars on the public highway sections of any rally in UK.

I’ve heard that they wanted to announce something at ASI but couldn’t. It’ll be on terrestrial TV next year, and there will be an esports event utilising EA Sports WRC for each round. Hopefully that’s going to help attract interest from a good variety of people!

Don’t know the full calendar but the Stellantis Rally4 cup will include West Cork, North West and Severn Valley.

Terrestrial TV sounds good, but a lot depends on the scheduling if they want to catch any new viewers. Also, we keep hearing that young people dont watch normal tv anymore so it wont catch many of them...

Snowman Rally status has now updated to postponed - it’s now moved to the Carlisle Stages old date, 19/10

They definitely shouldn’t call it ‘Snowman’ now its running in October Perhaps ‘Highland Rally’ would now be more appropriate!

Cronin is signed up for Galway, it's still unclear which Series he will prioritise.

Also, like Edwards, there is always a doubt about how far his funding will reach.

Fingers crossed for both.

PS. Great to see both in Fiesta Rally2 cars now its finally had some development ! Hopefully they will promote the sales of it and help fund M-Sport.
