MSA Gravel Rally Championship

Further to the continued reference by the MSA Gravel Rally Championship to the “dropping” or “axing” of the Brick & Steel Border Counties Rally from their 2010 Championship the organisers feel that they have no other option than to set the record straight.

Following the 2009 event, where the Gravel Championship only supplied 8 of the 103 entries to the rally, the organisers decided they could no longer justify running a National A event for 8 registered competitors and ANCRO were duly notified of this decision. This decision has been entirely justified by the entry for the 2010 National B event of 116 competitors.

Clerk of the Course, Paul Hughes, stated “ After supporting a championship for 5 years that has unfortunately dwindled to a negligible percentage of our entry, we felt we could no longer substantiate this element of our event and decided to concentrate on the most successful championship in the UK, the MSA Hankook Scottish Rally Championship.

We notified ANCRO of our choice last year and while we are disappointed at their continued referral to ourselves as been dropped, we wish them well for the future.”
