RESS RELEASE For Immediate release 09/12/2011
MSA British Rally Championship
2012 BRC regulations now available
MSA British Rally Championship organisers are
pleased to announce that regulations and entry
forms for 2012 are now available and can be
downloaded from
www.rallybrc.co.uk
The publication of these regulations heralds the
dawn of a new era for the British Rally
Championship, as next year sees the introduction
of the much-anticipated two-wheel-drive only
formula.
Now seen by many as a move that will bring
sustainability, affordability and closer
competition to the sport at top UK level, BRC
organisers are pleased to report that, over the
past few months, the championship has
increasingly attracted the attentions of
competitors – both new and existing - from home
and abroad.
2011 BRC 2WD Champions Marty McCormack & David
Moynihan
In comparison with those of 2011, the 2012
British Rally Championship regulations include
the following significant changes:
•
Two-wheel-drive cars only
•
Three prestigious British titles for Drivers,
Manufacturers and Juniors
•
The British Manufacturers’ Championship is open
to registered car Importers, with point-scoring
based on the two highest placed competitors in
the relevant make of car
•
The British Junior Championship is limited to
under 23 year olds driving Class 10 (Rally 1)
cars only
•
The BRC Teams’ Cup is open to professional
motorsport teams entering two cars
•
Pirelli Star Driver Competition nominees must
enter a minimum of four events
Added to this, the revised and forward-thinking
format specifically for R1, R2 and R3 cars has
been met with considerable interest by
manufacturers, the media and the public as
Championship Manager Mark Taylor explains:
“This is not only a significant time for us as
Championship organisers, but also for the sport
as a whole. Following the announcement of our
intentions in the summer of 2010, we have had
more and more people from all walks of the sport
– both in the UK and overseas – support the
format we have put in place for 2012. Initial
reactions amongst competitors has been extremely
positive, so we therefore look forward to
receiving entries for what promises to be one of
the most exciting and most talked-about seasons
ever.”
