Check out last night's interview with Becs Williams (from World Rally Radio) as she is now working on the Irish Tarmac Championship... she is massively impressed with the rallies, cars, drivers and fans in Ireland.

Spectator safety a bit "loose" on that test....
Road pretty similar to Ireland anyway.

She sounds genuine to me and who wouldn't be impressed with the variety of cars and great roads, plus real enthusiasm from the fans... its like rallying is virtually Ireland's national sport now.

Highlights

ERC ace Breen eager to join Circuit of Ireland heroes

Craig Breen aims to follow in a long and distinguished line of Irish drivers to win the Circuit of Ireland Rally, and in particular his “absolute hero and inspiration” Frank Meagher. An Irish rallying legend, Meagher won the Circuit in 1992 in a Ford Sierra Cosworth and, for the next 10 years, his spectacular driving style captured young Breen’s imagination. A good haul of ERC points is still the most important goal for the Peugeot Rally Academy 208 T16 driver, but there is no denying that Breen, a winner last time out in Latvia, would dearly love to add Circuit glory to his impressive CV. “I’ve got a big thing in my heart for the Circuit of Ireland,” said Breen. “It’s always been a dream of mine to follow my hero and put my name on the winner’s trophy too.”

Ireland versus Europe in intriguing ERC Tarmac encounter

Some of Ireland’s best drivers will go head-to-head for victory with Europe’s elite on the Discover Northern Ireland Circuit of Ireland Rally. In addition to Craig Breen, other Irish hopefuls include brothers Sam and Josh Moffett, who begin their ERC campaigns in identical Ford Fiesta RRCs, and Dublin’s Robert Barrable, who finished third on the event last year. Jonny Greer will be one to watch in his Citroën DS3 R5, Martin McCormack has recent world championship experience, while Stephen Wright graduates from ERC Junior. Alastair Fisher, nephew of event legend Bertie Fisher, gets a Ford Fiesta R5 for his Circuit return and will be a contender for victory.

Of the European contingent, top Pole and ERC leader Kajetan Kajetanowicz makes his Circuit debut in a LOTOS Rally Team Fiesta R5, while Charles Martin’s event preparations were given a boost when the 208 Rally Cup champion won his class on Rallye du Touquet – the Frenchman’s first outing in his Peugeot Rally Academy 208 T16. Czech drivers Jaromír Tarabus and Antonín Tlusťák (both ŠKODA Fabia S2000) are asphalt experts, although Alexey Lukyanuk (Belarus) and Estonia’s Raul Jeets have limited sealed-surface experience. Robert Consani will debut his new Citroën DS3 R5. Although he has started the Circuit of Ireland twice he admits a tough test is in prospect: “A difficult task awaits us with the learning of this car, the work of adjustments looks huge, but we are looking forward to familiarising ourselves with this fantastic car.”

Elsewhere Italian Giacomo Costenaro is armed with a Peugeot 207 S2000, while Scottish champion Euan Thorburn will swap gravel for asphalt for his ERC programme. All drivers will challenge for points in the ERC Asphalt Masters, which begins in Northern Ireland, and recognises the performances of surface specialists competing in the championship.
