British Rally Championship


The British Rally Championship is a rallying series based in the United Kingdom. The first championship was run in 1958 and it has been licensed by the Motor Sports Association since 1999. MSA has opted not to run the series in 2015, instead giving its promotion to its own subsidiary for 2016.
