The early BRC rounds this year should see some of the highest possible number of different R5/Rally 2 models represented, I should think, given that the Proton has been rarely seen outside of the UK,...

It's not big outside of rallying circles. Alexey Lukyanuk has achieved the most notoriety off the back of the ERC.
I don't believe he's related to the BTCC Ingram. -

We see very few of them in the UK too. We almost see more of the Proton Iriz R5! :D I don't think a Rally2 evo Fabia has ever even competed in a UK National rally.

From what we're told, I doubt Skoda would have hung around if the program didn't make a profit. Good to share the wealth around and they're rewarded for a great product.

Seemingly he was supposed to be in the Polo from the second BRC round onwards, before it was cancelled. He's hoping to do some "high profile events" in 2021, but we'll see if he gets the budget.
