ERC Historic

Yeah in circuit racing historic basically means not current cars. You can see even cars from 2010s racing there.

Tbh I wouldn't mind seeing that in rallying too. There are many WRCs, S1600, S2000 cars out there with no place to race except some regional championships. Why not do something similar.

Its not as if anyone is going to build a career on winning one of the EHRC titles but its bragging rights for those with deep enough pockets to be able to mount a campaign and dont just want to do exhibition events like Rally Legend. Just worry what the level of entries will be like across the year as can see Ceredigion and Ulster suffering as per the main ERC round this year. Only saving grace is that they havent gone back to coefficients.

Don't think it's a surprise that both UK events are on Tarmac; I think the chances of an International series on Gravel in the UK is almost nil; which is sad. The various Forestry owners want far too much for their roads use, that the sums don't/ won't add up.

There are gravel/forest events in BRC, BTRDA and BHRC. Are the charges higher to use these forests for International events ?

The rates are the same but as they are based on a "per mile" usage rate (with a slightly lower charge for a second use) you need a big entry to keep the entry fee down to a sensible level. The only way to make, say a 2½ day, International event pay would be to tag on a BHRC event for 1½ days and a BTRDA event for the other day. They already have to do this with the BRC forest events as the limited number of BRC entries can't cover the cost of the forest hire.
