We are delighted to announce that Registration has opened for the 2025 Sligo Pallets Forest Rally Championship, with the process incredibly quick and easy through the Championship Website.

During 2024, the Championship team conducted a survey of competitors to get their view on certain aspects of the series and to get feedback on changes that could be made, and we are happy to announce that themes that emerged from this process are directly reflected in the 2025 Championship Regulations that have been drafted (Pending MI Approval at this moment but published below in Draft format).

The biggest change is the introduction of a separate 2WD Championship that will run in conjunction with the Overall Championship, which will see a Top 3 2WD podium celebrated at the Championship Prizegiving in November, with additional publicity throughout the year on this new 2WD Series. This does not exclude competitors from the overall Championship standings which they will also remain a part of.

New also for 2025 is the Class Point Scoring system, with a much clearer advantage now on offer for the victor who will claim 20 points, with 17 for second, 15 for third and so on. This gives a much bigger incentive to competitors to push for class victories and reward performance on events.

With an expanded calendar for 2025, the Class and Overall scoring will be calculated on a competitors best six scores across the season, while Competitors will be required to start five rounds of the eight to be eligible for a Prize.

We would also like to remind people that the Official Championship Store is currently stocked with a selection of Jackets, Gilets, T-Shirts & Hats. The shop will remain open until Friday night, January 24th, to guarantee delivery of items before the season opening Donegal Forest Rally on February 16th.
