Isle of Man not to be replaced in 2011 BHRC

Following the news that the 2011 Rally Isle of Man has been cancelled, organisers of the Dunlop/WONAGO MSA British Historic Rally Championship have confirmed that the event will not be replaced in the 2011 schedule and that this year’s championship will now be held over seven events.The Rally Isle of Man, scheduled for 28/29 October, was to have been the final round of the championship, but that honour will now fall to the Colin McRae Stages on Saturday 1 October.In line with the championship regulations, scores will now be counted from competitors’ best five results from the seven rounds.“We are very, very sorry to learn of cancellation of the Rally Isle of Man,” said BHRC manager Simon Marks. “The event has provided very well for us in recent years but the advent of much tighter times financially, plus the move to the October date, appear to have been two large steps too far for us all this year.”The schedule for the 2012 BHRC will be announced within the next week
