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.

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!http://www.rallymadness.prv.pl - rally photos and movies!

Only R5 or s2000 can score points in irish championship from this year. Like Belgium Wrcs can compete on events but not score points. Hence the big R5 field in Ireland now. All R5 cars will be in the main international entry

I dont think I misunderstood you at all, in 2012 Fisher and Barrable both hired S2000 machinery, the IRC/ERC provided 6 S2000 cars, when I look down all the entry lists all the GpN cars, WRC cars, modifieds etc were driven by their regular drivers, no one 'hired a wrc' that would not have been out in a WRC anyway, I'll check 14 and 15 numbers later if you like but while the early events may have had less locals than hoped for what you are saying is totally wrong and didnt happen.

This video is really great. I can agree that watching this rally, especially from helicopter, can be quite boring. But if you find good spots, it can be entertaining. ...
