In issue 2 we preview the Pacemaker and Cilwendeg, present rally reports from the Gogledd, Autumn and Oaks, launch several new features, and bring you all the news from the road rally crews out on Rali Ceredigion.
British Road Rallying is a new newspaper, product of the fevered ego of a ‘Top Nav’ and inspired by the sterling work of Daniel Pidgeon, long time stalwart of the British Road Rallying blog and Facebook group.
We aim to become your favoured source of information on road rallying, targa road rallies and historic road rallies. In addition to rally reports, we bring you previews of upcoming rallies, championship updates (all in one place) and articles on the controversial and important matters in road rallying.
The newspaper interviews leading current competitors, mines the wisdom (or otherwise) of notable figures in the sport, and brings you a wealth of car setup and competition vehicle knowledge from the best in the business.
British Road Rallying also publishes a calendar that details every road rally in the UK, where the events start, where you can find entries, when entries open and where you can find results.
The newspaper will be published irregularly, timed to appear at or before each Welsh Association of Motor Clubs championship round, in addition to various other notable English and Welsh road rallies.
We offer all this exclusively as a printed product. There will be no online version. Why? Well, many of us spend all day staring at computer screens or at phones. The last thing that the team here at British Road Rallying want to do in our spare time is fire up another computer. Many people feel the same way.
A second reason is that the photography being produced in the sport at present is simply exceptional. You cannot do that photography justice online. Finally, if it isn't online, it's harder for the anti-rallying brigade to twist our sport into their agenda, so we are free to write exactly what we want to write ... and what you really want to read!
