The 2026 MGJ Engineering Brands Hatch Winter Stages would once again mark the midway point of the Protyre Circuit Rally Championship. Organised by Chelmsford Motor Club, the event offered competitors 35 miles of sealed surface rallying across 8 demanding stages
The 2025 Salford Van Hire Neil Howard Stages at Oulton Park once again provided the curtain raiser for the 2025/26 Protyre Circuit Rally Championship. Traditionally, the Neil Howard Stages not only opens the Protyre season but also brings Oulton Park’s busy motorsport calendar to a close for winter. Organised, as ever, by the Bolton-le-Moors Car Club, this year’s event featured 53 miles of technical stages that made full use of the Cheshire circuit’s perimeter roads and infield sections. The rally also included the much photographed water splash on two stages, as well as a gravel section running parallel to the start finish straight, making it one of the most varied challenges competitors will face this season.
The Protyre Circuit Rally Championship arrived in Wales for the sixth round of the series. Organised by Pendle District Motor Club, the Lee Holland Stages would be held at the Anglesey Race Circuit, North Wales.
The 2025 Protyre Circuit Rally Championship headed east for its annual visit to Snetterton. While the last round at Brands Hatch was largely confined to the circuit, Snetterton offered a more varied challenge, with over 50 miles of multi-surface stages. The event makes full use of the East Anglian venue, using side roads, gravel paths, and a mixture of circuit and pit lane to create a popular yet demanding layout for the crews.
The Protyre Circuit Rally Championship resumed this weekend after the Christmas break with its annual visit to Kent for the MGJ Engineering Brands Hatch Winter Stages. Eight stages totalling 55km awaited the crews.
