NOTE CHANGE OF VENUES

Radnor Forest 16th-17th April

This superb venue starts the championship off with an extended course.  Frighteningly fast tracks, large drops and slippery firebreaks typify this vast site, a long time favourite of WRC drivers! 

Ellesmere, Shrops 4th-5th June

Now a championship regular this site is a mixture of fast open fields, gravel tracks and more technical woodland sections. A summer date won’t guarantee the weather, but the prospect of dry conditions will make this a very fast event.

Scotland 2nd-3rd July

An excellent and vast new site in the South West of Scotland within easy reach of the M6 provides another completely new challenge to the 2004 championship.

Driffield 10th-11th September

A classic all weather site rounds off the championship in style. Expect plenty of water and loads of "air" as the competitors leap and splash their way around this dramatic "lunar" landscape.

An all time favourite, which has seen plenty of historical battles both in rallying and in off road competition.  Sweet Lamb provides the perfect closing event.

Goodyear Wrangler MT/R

Goodyear have pledged to support the British Off Road Championship for the next three years and have given us the opportunity to try something never before done in off road motorsport - a control tyre.

For once all the competitors in the Goodyear British Off Road Championship will be competing on a level playing field.  No longer is there any advantage to running a "special" tyre or to bringing several different sets to suit the conditions on the day.  Goodyear's tough Wrangler MT/R is the control tyre for the championship, and all competitors will use them.    

Designed for use in the most extreme off-road conditions - Wrangler MT/R combines advanced tread block features and Goodyear's innovative Dura-wall sidewall technology for improved puncture resistance.  MT/R delivers all the rugged grip and traction you need when the going gets really tough.  Five times British Off Road Champion, Bruce Tigwell was impressed by the MT/Rs; "just amazing grip - my flabber was gasted".

Cheaper motorsport

The support of Goodyear will help cut competitors costs.  The Goodyear Wrangler MT/R is not only more durable than the most common tyres currently in use in off road motorsport in the UK, but the package put together by Goodyear and the championship organisers shouldn't leave competitors out of pocket.

The Goodyear Wrangler MT/R is just one of the fantastic tyres available in the comprehensive Wrangler 4x4 range.  With tyres to suit every application from roadside to hillside - Goodyear gives you the traction to match the action wherever you tread!
