2009 Excel Rally Championship - CANCELLED

EXCEL CHAMPIONSHIP- CANCELLATION 2009

Posted: August 21, 2009 11:33 AM

It is with much regret that the Excel Rally Championship 2009 is being cancelled with immediate effect, but the series may regenerate again in the future. It is a decision that hasn’t come easy for championship manager, who has invested a lot of time, money and effort into this year’s series. “It is unfortunate we have no choice but to pull the pin on the 2009 series. I suppose these economically changing times haven’t helped matters, and maybe the series would have worked better in different years, but even with our offer of free registration we weren’t getting the numbers necessary to make the whole thing pan out. It was very much a big effort by Excel Rallying, and we are also under pressure with work commitments out foreign.”

Despite the lure of extensive On the Limit television coverage, and a relaxing of the control tyre rulings, letting crews use up their own stock of tyres first, only 5 drivers have contested enough events to even qualify for the end of season shoot-out that was to be held in November. “It’s not something we wanted to do, but we haven’t totally given up. Maybe in a better year and with a bit of re-thinking it could all work out properly in the future.”

For now the series has ended for 2009, but maybe by 2011, who knows what will happen?
