Motorsport, Rally, British Rally
The 2023 Motorsport UK British Rally Championship got underway in somewhat significantly more challenging circumstances than expected at the opening round, The Malcolm Wilson Stages Rally (11th March). The season opener saw a return for the British Rally Championship to the Lake District Forest Stages for the first time in decades but it wasn’t just the competitors that were to be tested to the limit on the event.
The Motorsport UK British Rally Championships will return to the stages with a new season opener to the series on March 11th. The Malcolm Wilson Stages Rally will take up the role of hosting the first round of an exciting seven-rally calendar. It has been decades since the British Championship has competed on these stunning Lake District Forest Stages, so this event makes a very welcomed addition to the schedule this year.
The Forests of North Yorkshire came alive with the sounds of horsepower once again as the FUCHS Lubricants British Historic Rallying Championship began its 2023 season with the Riponean Rally. This ever-popular event signalled the start of another promising season of Historic Stage rallying, where seven quality events are expected to feature on the calendar this year.
The Motorsport UK British Rally Championship crowned all new Champions in 2022, with seven tough and challenging rounds across both gravel and asphalt stages up and down the country; the series offered up the ideal proving ground for Britons’ bright young rallying hopefuls at the pinnacle of national rallying.
