Total disrespect for there customers (us clubman competitors) Do we need a new president if this is how they want to treat us?? No consultation whatsoever, not even an email direct to license holders,. Why?? because they were afraid of this response. No clubmen rally's quickly become financially unviable. This is a dictatorship. we must not become an elitist sport.

increasing the cost of an already expensive sport is not wise

This is an absolute disgrace giving one single supplier the monopoly on the supplying and pricing the fuel needed for rallying, charging over €6 for a litre of fuel the northern competitors can get at a pump for approximately €2, the Dacia cup was introduced for a cheaper way into rallying and now said competitors are going to be crucified with the price of fuel let alone the rest of the costs

My names Jason Wilkinson & I compete in class 16,These new fuel regulations is a disgrace to competitors that have their normal 9-5 job that is running for example Honda civics or standard mk2 escorts, it’s also a disgrace to the young drivers in the junior section that are saving every penny they work for just to go out for one weekend a month and spend what they have saved to go and enjoy the sport that they love, how does anyone expect young drivers in the junior section to progress their driving to move up in classes in years to come with this expense added on to the entry fees of rallies and not to mention new tires every rally because the pace in the juniors is as fast as any other class competing in any rally and every junior rally driver that I know that wants to be competing for a podium puts on new tires every rally. I think this decision needs to be looked at again because if junior drivers can’t afford it means less drivers moving up to different classes in years to come, Motorsport is about going out and enjoying your day’s driving and keeping the sport progressing not trying to get rid of drivers. If the club men drivers can’t afford to do a rally means there will be no full entry lists.

Can’t afford the fuel costs not helping the club man what so ever. Will need to get the car remapped again. Will not be rallying in the south of Ireland this year.

Give the clubman some chance of competing in their sport on a very low budget that they can only afford.

You are going to kill the clubman rallying completely I hold an msa license and not going to renew it 2025 going to the alltrack rally sport association and hillclimb and sprints and not going to spectate or support any more international rally’s or ni championships rounds you are just putting the wee private men out the lads that everyone goes to watch sounds more like someone getting a few pound in there pocket as usual corruption in everything motorsport
