British Championship follows world lead.

The Tesco 99 Octane MSA British Rally Championship has announced that it adopt World Rally Championship style door and rear window numbers for 2008.

This style of numbering has been used in the WRC for several years with the numbers positioned towards the top of the doors.

The sizes will be as per FIA/WRC regulations to maintain parity between the championships, with the move intended to give competitors more space for their own advertising.

"We have been lobbying for this change for some years now," BRC manager Mark Taylor said, "and we think it will please both competitors and events alike. The smaller door numbers allow a bigger area for both event and competitors' sponsors, while moving the large numbers onto rear windows helps keep track of the cars more easily on the stages.

"All the BRC cars at the Autosport International show in January sported the new style plates and we had some positive comments during the show."
