Hello mate, happy new year!

Nothing more to say than the PR:

https://www.facebook.com/MullRally/

Details of the 2017 rally will be revealed in due course, through the same channels as previous.

Great news clap

Don't forget that the community in Dervaig are putting on a big social event on the Monday after the rally, so hang around a bit longer and don't rush home!

I will be putting an entry in if it's a Tarmac event as usual . The wee puma has run us good the past few years but we are currently building a car that has never competed on the island so that should be good .
Duncan you were fantastic helping us last year with our timing and I am sure you will do a brilliant job in 2017.

Good news - I look forward to seeing something new, I'm intrigued! Polo WRC?

Interesting re: the "tarmac event as usual" - I do wonder if there would be much interest in a mixed-surface rally? There are a lot more good forest roads, now that many plantations are being harvested, and some link nicely to the tarmac roads. Food for thought!

Thanks for the kind words, happy to help - there's a lot for competitors to deal with, I still remember.

No not a Polo wrc ! The big thing would probably be the costs involved in making it a multi surface rally as the event is quite a bit of money to do already . Could some of the old Tarmac main road be in a usable state ? No matter what Mull always be the best rally in the world !

Good news - not having seen the detail, I think the reduction in road mileage will be a popular change.

Very disappointing that the closed road event has been canned.

Another victory for the health and safety/where there's blame society we live in. furious

Majorly disappointing news - and that is an understatement. Feel for everybody connected with the event; but what can they do? Another event pulled, and this time, one of the big events. Where will it end?

Could/ should the MSA do more?? After all, they are the governing body. Would they let a major race meeting get pulled?

Deeply disappointed. Would've been my 21st.

Knowing the team I think every effort will have been made not to cancel.

Anyone need a ferry ticket?
