British & Irish Championships 2024

Ingram has won every stage so far and took 14s out of Creighton on SS6. He just needs to get safely through the last one to be BRC Champion 2024.

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellll yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah boooooooooooooyyy
Ingram CHAMP!!!! Fuckk yeahhh
 
Hopefully, we can see them all return next season, for another title contest. The championship basically coming down to the final stage is as good as it gets.
 
im not that into the WRC2 but that should be the logical step. if toyota is looking for some presence there if pajari moves up in 2025, they should look no further imo. such a fun character. and bring castrol too and you have the coolest car of the season too. its a win win win win situation haha
 
He's had a couple of goes at WRC2 but the budget hasn't really been there or the car/team havent been quite good enough. This is why he ended up back in the BRC, with the right team and enough sponsorship for the season.

Toyota only have a customer programme, not a works team. MEM and Castrol plus his other sponsors would come up with a lot more money to get him into WRC2 and that's a big ask.
 
It looks like they have !!

Breaking news. Castrol MEM Rally Team to take part in Rally Japan !

Chris Ingram and Alex Kihurani will compete in the WRC2 class with the iconic Castrol Yaris next month.

Wow !
 
I think it's all academic really. For the amount of money needed just for the hosting fee, it's just not worth the use of what will likely be public money. I've seen plenty of comments, and the naivety from many astounds me. I think most UK rally fans want the WRC back in the country, but for me it's not at any cost; the current WRC isn't worth the money.

If however, a private backer/ commercial sponsor thinks it's worth it, then good luck to them.

Question is, would be held on the first weekend of June as ‘Scottish Rally GB’ ? It seems we don’t get 40 degree summers anymore so it wouldn’t be yet another dust-fest!

We didn't get 40 degree summers in England, let alone Scotland, 50 years ago but the Scottish in the 70's was well known for the dust. At least at that time of the year there wasn't much dust & dark, even though they ran all through the night.

Yeah to be fair the 40 degree summers was a couple years only 3 or 4 years ago. And maybe working outside has skewed my view of how wet the last two summers have been compared to the norm!
 
Rally Anglo-Caledonian numbers lower than I thought, 78 entries for the full two-day event, with an additional 5 Saturday only entries and 31 Sunday only entries. Could have been worse, but I was hoping for a few more. Entry closing date was 31st Oct, so there could be a couple of late entries.

I'm sure it will still be a great event, though I can't help but feel that having the Malton, Wyedean and Grizedale within a few weeks is not helping things.

It seems to be a common theme in UK rallying; events close together, and then periods without nothing.......
