2014 stage dates fixed

Britain’s rival historic rally championships will have greater separation in 2014, following the announcement of calendars for the British Historic Rally Championship and the RAC Rally Championship.

The BHRC will forge a closer alliance with the British Rally Championship, sharing six of its eight rallies with the BRC – including sail-away asphalt events in Ulster and on the Isle of Man.

In contrast, the RAC series will focus on one-day gravel rallies, and only the Mid Wales Stages in early March will host both championships.
