2026 British Rally Championship
The British Rally Championship, Called Probite British Rally Championship due to sponsorships reasons, is a rallying series run over the course of a year, that comprises six tarmac and gravel surface events.[1] 2026 will be the 68th season of the series. The championship will have three events in Wales, two in Scotland and a single visit to Carlisle in England.
2026 calendar
For season 2026 there will be six events, three on gravel and three on closed road tarmac surfaces.[2]
In mid-May 2026 the organisers announced the cancellation of the third round of the series, the Carlisle Stages which was originally scheduled for 5 June 2026. A low number of entries was cited as the reason.[3] Championship organisers will provide further information as it develops.
