Spa Francorchamps Circuit in Belgium had previously advised the organisers of the Motorsport UK 5 Nations British Rallycross Champion that they were no longer able to host the December event scheduled due to work schedule, severe flooding and the current COVID situation. The organisers have been working very hard to secure a replacement venue to allow the championship to reach its planned conclusion, even looking at joining the Irish Rallycross, but has been unable to find an economically viable solution for an alternative venue.
Each of the championships concerned were therefore concluded at Lydden Hill over the weekend of 6-7 November. The 2021 winners are as follows.

Swift Sport Rallycross Championship – Going into the final round, Max Weatherley and Luke Constantine had each won three rounds, however, Constantine’s big accident at Knockhill ruled him out of round six and the points gap was too big to close leading to Weatherley taking his fourth victory and the 2021 title.
