Since 2007 Pirelli has been the sole supplier of tyres to the MSA British Rally Championship. Pirelli and the BRC have recently extended their agreement that will see Pirelli remain as the sole tyre supplier until the end of the 2014 season.

In 2012 the British Rally Championship will switch to a 2WD only championship in a bid to make rallying more affordable, accessible and attractive to manufacturers. The 2012 BRC will continue to encompass several one-make series – namely the Fiesta SportTrophy, Twingo Renaultsport R2 Trophy UK, Citroën Sporting Trophy and Renaultsport R1 Trophy UK. This season will also see the revival of the Manufacturer’s Championship, which Renault, Ford and Citroën have all committed to.

Gravel events will offer competitors the use of 15" Pirelli K6 tyres, whilst the asphalt events will be contested on a mixture of 15"-17" RX7 tyres and RE7 tyres. The N3 will also be available in 15” for very wet conditions on asphalt.

The 2012 Pirelli Star Driver, Jukka Korhonen will be driving a TEG Sport Prepared Skoda Fabia R2 in his bid to crowned British Rally Champion.
