British Rally Championship 2022

Got to say that I think the organisers of Rally Yorkshire are taking the p*ss a bit. £17 for a single stage ticket on Saturday and each stage is only run once, worse still, tickets MUST still be brought online (they even say poor signal in the area so you must buy in advance), tickets won't be sold on the gate... £22 for a day ticket, though I likely can't get there for the morning run, so doesn't work for me. I thought spectators travelling between stages was considered a bad thing by the sport's gatekeepers...?

I guess the rally was too popular last year.

Is/was anyone else planning to go?

They've run it like this for a few years, £17 for one stage isn't the best value. Saying that, looking at the timings, it's now possible to watch both Cropton & Dalby; in past years that's been a stretch. £22 for a day ticket isn't too bad if you get 2 stages in. In fact if you could get in both stages fully, then I think £30 including a programme would be a fair price.

I'd certainly consider going; however, I'm without a car at the moment.

I don't think £22 is too bad at all for two stages, if you can do them. I wouldn't mind £15 for one stage if that's all I can do, but I'm really not a fan of having to pay online, particularly paying a fee to the service provider for the pleasure of them taking my details... What's wrong with paying on the gate, plenty of other events have returned to this?
 
Yes, 5 secs isn't anything; I think both took care in there, and made sure they get to today. And both mentioned dust....
 
Dramatic start after the first stage this morning; Pryce keeps his lead, Bell into 2nd, and Cronin 28 secs behind in 3rd after an overshoot and spin.....
 
Well deserved! Not sure where it leads for Osian however good to have a new name on the trophy. Cronin looked faster past me in Gale Rigg however he already had the back bumper hanging off so was playing catch up from there.
 
I know it's not the greatest era, but I think it's been a good season. Cronin v Pryce has been a good battle, and the youngsters Bell & Williams have shown some decent pace. On to the Cambrian in a months time.
 
Also, Pryce winning the title against a four-times former champion adds a bit of extra prestige to the whole thing. As you say it’s not the greatest era…
 
Is anyone else signed up to the BRC email newsletter? I got a BRC fan survey in my inbox today and it was asking some fairly interesting questions that are mildly encouraging (I know not to get my hopes up when it comes to the promotion of the BRC! :D)

I took the opportunity at the end to comment that we need to see more Rali Ceredigions in the BRC and I’d be happy to see fewer events if that meant they were longer than the 70km clubman events currently.
 
I'm glad Pryce has got his name in the history books, glad he's stuck at it. Deserves the recognition for his performances over the years. I feel a bit sorry for the likes of Cave who put on a good show over the years but never got the recognition of a champion.
 
Cave is another one who always seemed to be trying to get a budget to put a complete campaign together. And of course, the 3 times champion couldn't get a budget to defend his titles.......and has ended up in the Historics, albeit successfully.
 
Is that newsletter available to find anywhere or could be forwarded to myself, would be keen to input into the future of the championship.
 
I would have thought so, I received it because I once had a license a few years ago so current license holders must be on the same mailing list
