British Rally Championship
The peak of UK Rallying, the six events in this championship demand high speed commitment and precision in the ultimate test of driver and co-driver teamwork.
What is it?
The championship is filled with talented drivers and codrivers, both experienced and rookie, competing in modern Rally2 machinery. It offers a demanding blend of gravel and asphalt events that require adaptability on changing surfaces and conditions, with tyre choice, driver discipline, and a slice of good fortune all coming into play.
Balancing risk with reward is crucial to achieving title success and this is where some of the nation’ s top names first firmed up their skills – with legendary champions including Roger Clark, David Llewellin, Richard Burns and the famous family trio of Colin, Alister and five-time winner Jimmy McRae – with a third generation, Max McRae, keen to join the fold.
Ones to watch
Reigning champion William Creighton and co-driver Liam Regan are moving up to the European Rally Championship in 2026, so last year’ s other rally winners Merion Evans, and Max McRae could all be ones to watch. 2022 champion Osian Pryce is a late entry, and will run as team mate to Evans.
When and where is it happening?
The season begins with the Severn Valley Stages on 11th April. It then takes in the Jim Clark Rally in May, the Kielder Carlisle Stages in June, the Grampian Forest Rally in August and the Rali Ceredigion in September, before concluding with the Cambrian Rally in October.
Get involved
Every event offers unique and dramatic viewing, with oftenfree spectating in stunning locations. Competitors can take part in individual events – usually stepping up from clubbased rallies – and the Junior category is a must for those looking to rise through the ranks.
