2025 British & Irish Championships

[Sal yet again]

After the tricky start to last years' BRC with the crashes/delays on the NW Stages it was good to see that the East Ridings appeared to run with relatively few issues apart from Pearson wiping out the flying finish of SS7!

Seemed to be a lot more people stage side than non BRC years where I was during the day so decided to dodge Westwood and the rain that manifested at lunchtime and stayed at Coom for both runs. Hopefully the event continues to be welcomed by the locals and that it can go from strength to strength.

Yes it seemed to go virtually without a hitch. There was just a small delay to the afternoon loop but all seemed to run very smoothly... unusual compared several BRC events in recent years.

There was also a very decent-looking turnout at the Beverley SSS so I dont think there'll be any issue going forward.

Well done to all involved.

Really enjoyed East Riding stages, got to see three passes and could have managed a fourth but for family - nice old school vibes to it. Was a slight frustration on the first stage, where the safety dude in the car tried to bunch a hundred people into a small and far more dangerous spot on a bank... but the marshals made an appeal to the next safety one to undo the changes successfully. Quite a few of the accessible junctions had pretty poor views, but was happy with my research and choices.

What an amazing success the R5/Rally2 ruleset is; having more than 40 of them in a regional UK event was very impressive, as was the variety at the front with Citroen, Toyota, Ford and Hyundai all occupying top places. I don't understand why people think they're any less exciting than Rally1 cars, when driven at pace by a pro they're damned spectacular IMO.

Decent entry so far for the Carlisle stages. Interesting to see no Keith Cronin as yet, hopefully he puts an entry in.

With the Manx running the same weekend as the Carlisle/Keilder event on the surface it would appear that UK rallies are in quite rude health entry wise. Appreciate the Nth East event will also include the Welsh championship as well as the BRC and BRC.

Manx provisional entry:
