Circuit of Ireland 2016

[Jarek Z]

According to this piece of news
http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sp...-34539226.html
Elfyn Evans, Keith Cronin, Tom Cave, Alastair Fisher, Max Vatanen, David Bogie and the Moffett brothers have entered CoI as well.

Circuit of Ireland director Bobby Willis said - "We have already exceeded the maximum number of cars we are permitted to start even before the entries close this evening so some people are going to be disappointed. But we have a strict criteria to determine who gets priority and we have to work within the guidelines."

I guess at least some Irishmen will do also Ypres and in that case it makes sense to register.

It is pity, but there is another event in BRC in same week like Ypres, so I dont expect many drivers from UK or Ireland in Ypres

Indeed BRC R5 entries will be higher than ERC entries I guess.

Entries have now closed. The big question is: to Breen or not to Breen?

Anybody know if he did enter ? he was at the West Cork Rally last weekend checking out the speed of the opposition ...

When will the Entry list be published?

World Rally Championship driver Craig Breen will return to defend his 2015 Circuit of Ireland win following a last-minute deal to drive a Citroen DS 3 R5.

Breen and co-driver Scott Martin will drive a David Greer Motorsport car, testing it for the first time in the week leading up to the event - which is the next round of both the European and British Rally Championships.

He headlines arguably the strongest ever Circuit entry, with 38 R5 cars on the list for the April 7-9 event.

"That's more cars with a theoretical chance to win a rally than I can ever remember before," Breen told Autosport.

"Last year we had the European Rally Championship competitors and guys like Robert Barrable and Alastair Fisher to worry about - this time around we've got three series [ERC, BRC and Irish Tarmac Championship] converging and those championships are all at the top of their game and bringing some serious competition."

Breen is unlikely to register for BRC points as he does not expect to contest any further rounds of the revived series and "it would seem a bit unfair to potentially take points away from other drivers".

Anyone got the full list? Not really sure why they've only released the top 25 entries - as impressive as it is.
