I dont think there is any proving for the Fiesta to do after 2016. But it would be nice in terms of us having a contest in 2017 if M-Sport get a good team out, as the Ahlin/Bogie Fabia combo look pretty strong.

So what have we got so far for the overall?
Skoda
Ahlin - CA1
Bogie - CA1
Henry - Macsport
McCormack - TigerRisk
Ford
Laffey - M-Sport
Cronin - M-Sport ???
Anderson - CA1
Edwards - Swift
Thorburn - Ford ???
Yates - Rhys Yates
McDonald - Donnie MacDonald ???
Am I missing anyone obvious?
M-Sport seriously need Cronin now if they want to take on the CA1 Skoda's. Their first confirmed driver Laffey hasn't shown any great speed previosly.
Hoping to see Greer back in BRC also. same like the Moffet's. Greensmith only doing WRC2 probably. If the MSport duo would be Pryce and Cronin then Ahlin and Bogie has a challenge! Don't think Laffey is the official Msport entry, probably the car is ran by MSport.
I wonder what happened to the rumour of a Hyundai R5 factory entry in the BRC ?
I know Robert Barrable is debuting the i20 in Ireland on the West Cork next month. The Irish Tarmac Ch'ship now has five different manufacturers represented.
Moffats are doing ERC I think I read somewhere, so doubt they'll do both.
With no Greensmith, Evans, Vatanen, Cave, Moffats, maybe no Greer, no-one stepping up to the top class and currently a complete lack of Peugeots, Citroens and Hyundais, could be a bit of a step back from last year at the moment. Still time for a few announcements though.
Will be a real shame if Cave can't get afford to at least a partial season in.
Hmm first thing I hear about the Moffet's doing ERC again, they already started in Galway so could be they doing TROA like maybe Greer will do. Vatanen has probably no support anymore and Cave, yeah a shame but because they don't drive in Wales anymore it's difficult to justify it to this sponsors to do a campaign in BRC.

That's the only place I've seen it mentioned.
MH Motorsport, Osian Pryce and BRC have an announcement today. Related? Or am I thinking wishfully? The driver and team did Rally GB together last year...
