NEWS / 3X BTRDA CHAMP RETURNS FOR BTRDA & BRC ASSAULT IN 2025

Three-time BTRDA Gravel Rally Champ Elliot Payne will return to contest both the BTRDA Rally and British Rally Championship.

The young rally ace has proven his worth on gravel time over by securing three back-to-back BTRDA GoldStar titles but struggles to get to grips with the Asphalt which has proven vital when fighting in the BRC.

Alongside Co-Driver Patrick Walsh, Payne will kick start his season locally in February driving the Amigos Tequila Beer Backed Ford Fiesta Rally2. First up will be the gravel of the Riponian Rally 2025 (09/02/2025) to dust the cobwebs off with, following that up with a switch to tarmac for the closed roads East Riding Stages Rally (23/02/25), the opening round of the British Rally Championships.

Payne also plans to venture overseas to France for a couple of events to gain some more experience in reconnaissance and pace note preparation for rallies.
