The re-vamped Stellantis Rally Trophy UK will join the British Rally Championship roster in 2026, offering a refreshed and more accessible format that continues to offer one of the most lucrative and career-defining prizes in UK rallying.
Open to crews in Michelin-shod Peugeot 208 Rally4, Opel Corsa Rally4 or Lancia Ypsilon HF Rally4 examples, the now separate Ireland and UK series offers a total prize fund of more than €95,000, including a sensational end-of-season prize.
The winner of each of the UK and Ireland series will receive a funded drive in the final round of the Hungarian Rally Championship, the Zemplén Rally, competing in a Stellantis Motorsport Rally4 car run by factory-supported team TRT.
The prize package includes a pre-event test, entry fees, fuel, Michelin Tyres and full event support.
In addition, each champion will secure an exclusive post-event test in the all-new Lancia Ypsilon HF Rally2, offering a major step towards Rally2 machinery and international progression.
Alongside the headline prize, over €40,000 in parts vouchers will be distributed across both championships during the season, bringing the total prize fund to over €95,000.
The Stellantis Rally Trophy UK will align with the British Rally Championship – BRC4 category calendar, delivering a mix of high-profile asphalt and gravel rounds across the country, including the UK round of the FIA European Rally Championship.
This free-to-enter Trophy, offers crews in the BRC an exciting prize fund for their season, adding to the already impressive Junior BRC winning package of free entries to the 2027 rounds of the BRC.
Open to any crew meeting the criteria in the BRC4 category, the Rally Trophy UK winner will be determined by being the highest placed Stellantis eligible finisher in the BRC4 category at the end of the season.
Support from Michelin continues into 2026, ensuring competitors benefit from top-level tyre performance and technical backing.
Raymond Moore, Stellantis Rally Cup Registrar, is excited to join forces with the BRC in 2026.
“We are delighted to partner with the British Rally Championship in 2026 and offer Stellantis contenders in the UK one of the best prizes in rallying at the moment.
“We have worked hard over the winter to develop a format that is more inclusive and, importantly, more cost-effective and offering BRC contenders a chance at a fantastic prize package made total sense. The BRC is an iconic series, and offering a genuine pathway for ambitious young drivers is the ethos of the series”.
Reece Tarren, British Rally Championship Manager, is delighted to welcome the Trophy to the BRC this season.
“The Stellantis series is no stranger to the BRC. Of course, we were honoured to be part of their calendar since its inception, but to have a dedicated Trophy in the British Rally Championship really elevates our BRC4 category”.
“It’s always been super competitive, and with many champions going on to European and world level, I see no reason that this prize opportunity can also elevate the careers of this generation of drivers. It’s an exciting season ahead.”
