I saw a few comments on Facebook talking about the return of a circuit rally event to Croft, so I live in hope that rallycross might return there at some point.
After seeing the connection established between 5 Nations and BTRDA, I'm ready to believe anything can happen now!

I was at Blyton earlier this year for the first time since 2014 and I forgot just how bleak the place is. I know the circuit doesn't have the required approval for Supercar but, even if it did, I just can't picture the circuit hosting a 5 Nations round.
I'd really like to go to Knockhill as I have heard praise for the layout of the rallycross circuit, but it is in deepest, darkest, Scotland and is pretty much the opposite end of the country to me.

The Legend festival might justify the trip? Obviously we are a long way off entries yet, but if they can pull in a good haul of European retro cars/drivers then it should be a decent weekend and could be worth the journey.

The lack of venues that are available is a real problem and unfortunately I cant really see that changing any time soon, tho ill still hope that Croft will return one day

Yeah. Again referring to the Facebook comments, I saw a few people asking for new venues like there is an abundance of them out there waiting to be found.
