No double points for BRC finale Galloway Hills Rally is BRC one-day decider

The British Rally Championship has dropped its double-points finale format which it has used since 2016.

The new season finale, the Galloway Hills Rally replacing Wales Rally GB, is a one-day event only.

“Galloway Hills is only one day, and it isn’t possible to split the event into two pointsscoring opportunities,” said Iain Campbell, championship manager.

“We have nothing against the double-points scoring format, it just didn’t work for the final round this time. Apart from West Cork and Ypres, all of our events are one-day anyway.”

BRC regulations have been released, and Campbell said he is working on “some exciting prizes for the juniors”. The BRC will not launch as part of the Wales Rally GB stand at Autosport International this year, as neither has a stand presence at the January 10-13 event.
