Osian Pryce wins 2026 British Rally Championship

Welsh driver Osian Pryce and co-driver James Morgan secured the 2026 British Rally Championship title following a dramatic season finale at the Cambrian Rally in North Wales. Pryce clinched the championship by a narrow margin of 1.2 seconds over Max McRae and Cameron Fair.

The final round featured a three-way title battle between Pryce, McRae, and Meirion Evans. Early in the event, McRae took an initial lead in a Škoda Fabia RS Rally2, while Pryce managed technical issues with his Toyota GR Yaris Rally2. The competition shifted when McRae spun in standing water during the third stage, allowing Pryce to take the lead. Meirion Evans’ championship challenge ended on the fifth stage after going off the road while braking.

In the afternoon session, McRae mounted a significant comeback, winning four consecutive stages to close the gap. Despite a late charge in the final stage, McRae fell just short of the title. This victory marks Pryce’s second British Rally Championship title, following his 2022 win, and the first championship for co-driver James Morgan.
