A shame but seemed inevitable really - the car last year wasn't covered in sponsorship so it was always a worry that the money wouldn't be there for this year - there's only so long you can run on empty moneywise and Supercars aren't cheap!

Any news on new entrants this year? Things seem very quiet.
Very sorry to hear about Dan - I just hope he finds a way to stick around in rallycross as he is clearly a big talent. But, yes, it has always been the same problem - a clubman sport with cars that can be more expensive to run than those in the BTCC |

I was hoping we'd have a few more entrants announced by this point as well. I posted this in the World Rallycross thread, but it may be relevant here as well:
Some shots of the LDM C4 posted on Facebook in the last couple of days. Pat back in the British Championship again this year? |

Nathan Heathcote to race in the Doran C4. Adding to questions about what the Dorans will race, if anything, this year.
I saw on facebook that Dave Bellerby won't race the Fiesta (or anything else) this year, which is a shame. It's up for rent each round if you have the cash! With no Rooke, and uncertainty with other drivers, thus could be the most underwhelming Year in BRX yet. Shame. Hopefully they get their heads put their bums and join forces with the BTRDA next year. |

Interesting development. As you say it raises the question what, if anything, the Dorans will be doing this year.
This might also be a relevant addition to the 2017 British Rallycross thread as well... |

Ha. I just scrolled down and found the closest thing to British rallycross. Miss can move it at their discretion!

Shame to see Bellerby step back, do we know if Grint is back for this season? Also I'm sure I saw Simon Horton had the Subaru up for sale - so can we assume he won't be out either?
This is interesting though: http://www.teambmr.co.uk/2017-03-war...nship-for-2017 Didn't see that one coming! |

Wow. Big news. He's quite useless as a driver isn't he? His results in BTCC aren't great. Still, best of luck and hope he has good reliability.
The Dorans are quickly running out of cars, how many more do they have!? |

Haha, that's brutally honest!
Interesting that the article mentions the DS3 is one previously used by Liam. The Dan Rooke car was ex-Bakkerud, so does that mean that Warren Scott will be using the World car used by Liam? Quote:
EDIT: This article on the British Rallycross site clearly states it's the ex-Rooke car, so at the very least Liam's old World car is still spare. Quote:

So Liam in an RS200 in the British Championship and Pat in an RS200 in the Retros? The more RS200's the better |

Heathcote must have significantly upped his budget for 2017! Quote:
...or perhaps I'm barking up the wrong tree! Possibility of Liam to Pikes Peak as well? |

There's anotare announcement ok rallycrossbrx sure. A former motocross rider, Oliver Bennett, will race an OMSE fiesta. He's had rally experience too so expect decent things if the car is well put together.
My earlier pessimism seems to be premature |
