2011 British Rally Championship season
Previous: 2010 Next: 2012

The Dulux Trade MSA British Rally Championship is a yearly rallying series based in the United Kingdom. It comprises six events throughout the British Isles (after the cancellation of Rally Isle of Man). The first championship was run in 1958 and it has been licensed by the MSA Motor Sports Association since 1999.

The 2011 Dulux Trade MSA British Rally Championship season is the 53rd season of the British Rally Championship. The addition of the Rally Sunseeker International to the calendar was due to bring the number of events to seven. The season begins on February 26, in Bournemouth and ends on September 24, in Yorkshire. Dulux Trade is once again the sponsor of the series, which is part of a two-year deal agreed in February 2010.[1]

Season Summary

In September, following the International Rally Yorkshire, David Bogie and co-driver Kevin Rae were declared champions having won three out of the six events and scoring 110 points. Runners up with 100 points were Elfyn Evans and co-driver Andrew Edwards. The final podium position was taken by Jonny Greer and Dai Roberts with 95 points.

Calendar

The 2011 calendar originally consisted of seven rounds, one more event than in 2010.[2] However, the final round of the championship, Rally Isle of Man, was cancelled in September 2011.[3]
