Move Rallycross to winter

What about moving the MSA British rallycross championship to the winter If I remember right did rallycross not start off as a winter sport and was very successful. With cars sliding around on muddy circuits with dirty windscreens it would offer more spectacle to the TV companies and the spectators, would not have to complete with all the other forms off motorsport and surely get track hire cheaper. The events could run from August bank holiday Monday at Lydden to Easter Monday at Lydden with 2 rounds at Mondello to incorporate the Irish championship and rounds in Wales and Scotland and maybe able to afford a round at Brands in November/December. The WRC have talked about moving to the winter for more TV coverage so could rallycross beat them to it, I think it has more to offer? And would leave the summer free for drivers to go to RSS or ERC and it might encourage rally and race drivers to have a go when there is nothing else on?
