MSV are running a sort of mini series at Oulton, Cadwell and Brands for all the race/rally wallers who don't like proper single venue rallying lol!

Seriously, they are putting some backing into it aren't they? Good idea.

I went to Dukeries and it was a bit over cautious with the speccy areas and marshalling, but they were no doubt trying to impress and not take any chances.

SAFE speccy rallying is the future no doubt, but it really is a poor relation to the real thing, a very poor one.
There is an MSVR run rally championship that is circuit based - so Brands (round 5?), Cadwell, Oulton, Snetterton, Rockingham - probably missed a couple. Circuit based rallies are good fun - it's a fairly relaxed day and there's good spectator access - a lot of the events we do are on MOD land and there is no spectator access at all so these events are a chance for family and friends to come and watch.

As you say it's also a nice little earner for the circuits when there's nothing else happening so it's a win-win really.
