40 Stock Hatches - happy days!
Where are they now? Where are the drivers? I guess that's what happens if you ban the cheapest class in rallycross in the hope of everyone buying Swifts. Now BRX have done the same to the hot hatch category and ditched that too! Madness.
A couple of guys at my local motor club were looking to get into rallycross. They found that they are now so few active drivers that there is barely a market in cars (except perhaps at the top level) making it even harder to get in the sport.
Worse still, a lot of popular used rallycars just don't fit in the BRX structure or would be uncompetitive in the lower classes (Can't run 205s, 206s, Civics, Fiestas etc).
The whole thing needs a rethink - but we've been saying this for years.
