    Circuit of Ireland 2016

    With all the hype around the BRC, Irish Tarmac moving to R5 and the ERC being there I've been looking at how good the Circuit of Ireland could potentially be. And I'm thinking it could easily get into the 35-car range for R5/S2000. The biggest questions for me are around the ERC competitors. There don't seem to be many confirmed programmes out there yet. And a few guys who have confirmed will skip it (Botka, Gryazin).

    If anyone can add/remove from this list let me know.

    Elfyn Evans - Ford Fiesta R5
    Max Vatanen - Ford Fiesta R5
    Tom Cave - Ford Fiesta R5
    Neil Simpson - Skoda Fabia R5
    Euan Thorburn - Peugeot 208 T16
    Rhys Yates - Ford Fiesta R5
    Damian Cole - Ford Fiesta S2000
    Hugh Hunter - Ford Fiesta R5
    Tomas Davies - Ford Fiesta R5
    Oli Mellors - Proton Satria S2000
    Jamie Anderson - Ford Fiesta R5

    Josh Moffett - Ford Fiesta R5
    Keith Cronin - Citroen DS3 R5
    Alastair Fisher - Ford Fiesta R5
    Jonny Greer - Citroen DS3 R5
    Stephen Wright - Ford Fiesta R5
    Aaron MacHale - Skoda Fabia S2000
    Desi Henry - Skoda Fabia R5
    Joseph McGonigle - Skoda Fabia S2000
    Brendan Cumiskey - Ford Fiesta R5
    Joe Connolly - Ford Fiesta R5

    Consani is going to drive Citroen DS3 R5 this year, but I don't know if he is going to visit Ireland.

    Your list looks very interesting, but are all the British/Irish drivers going to compete in the ERC round? They are usually very reluctant to compete in ERC.

    Probably not Ireland on tarmac though for Larsen I'd guess?

    The list should be impressive even before you consider all the junior battles.

    Your list looks very interesting, but are all the British/Irish drivers going to compete in the ERC round? They are usually very reluctant to compete in ERC.
    To say they were reluctant is very unfair, quite a few hired or adapted (WRC/RRC) cars to be able to do it, remember it's not 2006 in Ireland now. I think its most likely that the event will be very well supported by the IRC competitors that have R5/S2000 cars, and I dont think the European championship will have anyone on Cronins pace either!

    I'm afraid you misunderstood me. They hired WRC cars not to compete in the ERC. You cannot compete in the ERC with a WRC car. If they wanted to compete they would have hired R5/S2000 cars, wouldn't they?

    I hope it will be different this year. I wish you a great rally!
