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/13b812...0f34_VGFR Bulletin 1 & Final Instructions.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!

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.

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.
 
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.

That would be great, however my understanding is that it is a privately owned plantation, could be managed by NRW though? Could get a fairly long stage in there.

Private ownrship might not be a barrier to use if the owners were happy with a road re-instatement plan similar to the Rally4Wales scheme used on NRW plantations.
We'll just have to wait and see what's announced.
 
Big time loss by Meirion Evans on Y Diafol this morning. Will Creighton should have the BRC Title in the bag now.
 
Armstrong leads but lucky to get away with this...

Hitting a bird and a gatepost in the same stage - just hoping no radiator damage. Fantastic time though, would have been a big stage win without the spin.

The organising committee of the Malton Forest Rally regret to announce that this year’s event has been cancelled due to the ongoing wildfires in Langdale Forest. Following discussions with Forestry England there has been significant damage to the forest tracks in the forest complex and this will not be repaired in time for this year’s event.

With no additional forestry land available to replace the affected stages, the committee carefully considered all options and concluded that it would be better to cancel the rally than to deliver a substandard event.

While it is deeply disappointing to cancel this year’s rally, we are already looking ahead to the future. The Malton Forest Rally will return on Sunday, 1st November 2026.

There is other forestry, rallying just can't use it - and the Trackrod have managed to salvage their event; a few events a year now, and we're lucky to get that. A shame they couldn't even run a Rally Sprint - as this event originally was - only one venue needed.
