2025 British & Irish Championships

Just looking at the Final results for the Grampian and Calum and Romet have the same time, the regs state that a tie will be decided by the final stage time and so on, Romet had the quickest time on the final stage so surely he should have been 5th and not 6th .....

NCR 13.13.14.3 - Ties will be decided by the least penalty incurred on the FINAL Special Stage of
the event. Should this also involve a tie then the penultimate stage penalties and so on, in reverse
order of running, will apply.

That regulation was revised in Bulletin 1 (https://app-cdn.sportity.com/13b8120...structions.pdf) to revert to the normal method of deciding ties by fastest on the first stage &c.

No idea why they chose what they said in the regulations or why they changed it, but the results software writer may well have been saved some work by the change!

He thinks he's finally learning how to be fast on gravel.

I'll reserve judgement until after the Grampian.

So... I cant say 3rd place was particularly impressive by Evans. To be well off his teammate from the very start and to finish behind young Max McRae was pretty poor. He even dropped behind him for a better road position and still didnt go faster !

All credit to Creighton who dominated despite opening the road. And to McRae for good consistent pace and no mistakes.

It was a big shame that Jurgenson had an engine problem on Friday evening and then a puncture on Saturday morning. He was the only one who couldve fought Creighton for the win.

everytime i see this Garry Pearson dark fiesta i get the impression it has a different body kit from the rest of the fiestas out there. idk why

Surprised to see that Osian Pryce has an entry in for the Ulster Rally in a Hyundai i20 Rally2.

He's actually got a 2-event deal with the Irish team... the second being at home at Rally Ceredigion !

4 Stage wins so far in Ulster for Osian Pryce. Great to see someone keeping Callum Devine honest.

New forestry sounds interesting, wonder if it's an entirely new plantation that they are using or just a few new roads! (Or simply a stage which hasn't been used in a few years)

There's a good sized plantation on Carnedd Wen to the south of the A458 between Foel (where they often pass through on the way to/from Dyfnant) and Mallwyd. I can't recall it ever being used so it would be good if that was to become available.

The organisers of the Trackrod Rally have announced that they're having to change their planned route because of the moorland fires near to Langdale forest.

[Sal yet again]

Inevitable in light of the ongoing sad situation up at Langdale. Will be interesting to see which stage will now get the second run.

Looking ahead, the Malton in November relies on Langdale for two of its six stages so hopefully for all concerned the weather will change.
