British & Irish Championships 2024

[HKSjbg]

Using some of the stages as seen in Saturday's Severn Valley.
In years past the Rallynuts/Severn Valley/ Kerridge/ Mutiny used the stages around Crychan, Halfway, Tywi, Radnor........And it was in late May/ early June; I never heard the reason for the date change, or the change of forests.

Hopefully that will be day two’s itinerary for the Severn Valley next year

Yes, a two day gravel event is a pipe dream.......

RACMC are pulling it off this November…

Ingram still leads the BRC after Rd2..

Nice to see the Appleby TR7 V8 making progress at the weekend with Miggins at the wheel. Exciting prospect for the Manx.

Well I think for once the new BRC season has lived up to the hype - we couldn’t reasonably expect much better than a former ERC champion and last year’s JWRC champion, among other high calibre entrants.

And everybody seemed happy enough doing 100 forestry kilometres last weekend so it might not be out of the realms of possibility that next year or the year after there could be at least one 2-day BRC gravel round. As this year has already proved doing more than 70km clubman rallies was always plausible, just so long as there was good promotional benefit in the BRC for the competitors to be interested

Can anyone tell me how Ingram managed to start 4th on the road with out penalty?
Seems unfair if road position tactics can be played, with out time penaltys?

There was 15 minutes of penalty free lateness between Main Controls.
This is always an option for non international events, but most usually employed if there’s fresh snow.

Have seen some do this if very very foggy in the hope of catching and following lights of car ahead, or just mind games with close competition behind they could think you’ve had a problem and back off…

All part of fair competition

Yeah, it's going really well - and one hopes everybody keeps doing the full series; and not pulling out when they can't win the series.

As for promotion, we just need them to put the live end of stage stuff on You Tube; I can't fathom why it's Facebook only.......It's 2024, not 2014.

Happy doing 100km for the entry fee of a 70km event. The organisers added 30km for free to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the event. Would there have been as many entries if the full entry fee had been charged?
