The British Rally Championship will return for 2025, buoyed on by the success of the 2024 season, which saw some of the best drivers on the business battle it out for the coveted British title. Next year will see all six rounds feature on the UK mainland.

In its 67^th season, the BRC will retain its focus on high-profile and more challenging rallies, adding a new rally to start the season to compliment a tried and tested roster.

Delivering an action-packed campaign, the 2025 BRC season will continue an equal split of asphalt and gravel rallies, encompassing some of the best stages in the UK, each with its own unique features and formats.

BRC Championship Manager, Reece Tarren commented on the 2025 calendar, “The 2024 season was one of the best for the British Rally Championship in recent times and so it made total sense to build on the success of the past season and offer some stability to our competitors, teams, fans and stakeholders.

“With a thrilling calendar of events, and continued terrestrial TV coverage on ITV4 and ITVX, I believe we will continue the momentum we have built up during 2024 and I`m extremely excited to see how the 2025 season shapes up. I look forward to seeing everyone in Yorkshire next February.”

Media coverage will continue, including a dedicated one-hour highlights show on ITV4 after each round of the series, broadcast at prime time with further repeat broadcasts and an end-of-season round-up programme.

A new addition to the BRC, the East Riding Stages Rally will provide a curtain raiser for 2025 and offers an earlier start to the season for eager crews. Taking place on 23 February, the Yorkshire closed public roads around the Beverley rally base will evaluate contender’s mettle over ten challenging stages.

In April, the series heads for the world-class gravel of the Severn Valley Stages which once again offers one of the longest one-day gravel events in the country. Threading its way through classic stages from the Wales Rally GB archives, the Builth Wells-based event takes crews into iconic tests such as Myherin, Sweet Lamb and Hafren.

The Scottish Borders play host to the Borders Competitions Jim Clark Rally which, after upping the ante with a longer route in 2024, is all set to extend mileage once again this year with an impressive two-day format. Taking in both daylight and nighttime tests, the Jim Clark Rally offers the perfect BRC proving ground. After the summer break, the Voyonic Grampian Forest Rally returns near Aberdeen for the gravel Kincardineshire forest stages.

September will once again offer the opportunity for the BRC contenders to go toe-to-toe with some of the best drivers in Europe at the JDS Machinery Rali Ceredigion. The three-day spectacular captured the hearts and souls of the UK rallying community in 2024 with the ERC returning to our shores for the first time in decades.

Witnessing a fitting season finale in 2024, the Visit Conwy Cambrian Rally will once again bring the curtain down on the BRC.

The structure of the BRC will continue, as top-flight Rally2 cars and Rally3 cars fight it out for overall supremacy, with all other homologated classes catered for, including the Junior BRC in Rally4 and Rally5 machinery.
