The price is an entry in the Dmack Fiesta trophy in 2017, not WRC2.Quote:

You're right, my bad. Still a nice prize to win. Let's hope it's not some driver like Tom Cave (all respect for him) who already took his chance on a higher level.Quote:

Promote themselves right and they'll do well. Over-egg everything they've got and people will get fed up and they'll lose respect. I wonder what lengths they'll actually go to when they really do have some big news!
Asphalt Championship regular John Indri has replaced his Subaru S11, MC54 WRC, with the new improved Fiesta R5... hopefully meaning an entry in the BRC !

Damian Cole is also meant to be entering a Fiesta S2000.
Motorsport News saying there is the possibility that Elfyn Evans will do some BRC rounds in a Fiesta R5 next year in addition to some WRC2 outings and likely some other rounds back in a WRC car.
Obviously not a confirmation but that would be a nice boost for the BRC.
Elsewhere Hugh Hunter is planning to do the BRC in a Fiesta R5 (car bought - not all funding in place). Meirion Evans confirmed as doing Junior BRC in a Fiesta R2T.
Hopefully the TV/ media coverage will be announced sooner rather than later. On Absolute Rally they said that a deal with a 'mainstream' station was quite close. Would be great if true. The BRC needs lots of promotion if it is to succeed.
How many Mitsubishi Mirage R5 will we see in BRC in 16?
Historics driver Tomas Davies has bought a Fiesta R5 and will do most of the BRC it looks like. Seems like Neil Simpson will announce a BRC programme in his Fabia R5 at the Autosport Show. We should also find out the second Dmack driver in a week.
Pretty sure I read that the Mirage won't be granted national homologation. I know M-sport were far from happy about the idea of it being able to compete.Quote:

It can run on National events, but the BRC regs state cars must be Homologated.
I guess could it run later on in the national section of the BRC - but not be eligible to win any top prizes? But that kind of defeats the point of it I guess.
Unless it's to get mileage/experience before the car is homologated later in the year. Not that anyone can afford that sort of thing in motorsport these days...

That clip of Colin in the Legacy looks speeded up :mark:
The main thing I thought though was how good the Pilot Sport and Megane liveries looked :D
No, I think he was just that fast :D Alright some credit goes to the car too...Quote:

Let's see how massive this time ..
Probably the colour of the taping at spectator areas.
Still, I'm curious

New Fabia R5 for BRC - Desi Henry

Elfyn Evans and Max Vatanen will do the championship with DMack team.

Great news for the series. Evans will be the benchmark for everyone. Certainly a statement if anyone can consistently beat him in equal machinery.
This does make me think those reports about him doing all WRC rounds (7x WRC, 7x WRC2) are bogus.
Seems a lot of events for Evans but he seemed keen to get back in a WRC car so he will maybe fit all the rounds in somehow...
Good for the BRC having him involved though.
What was the other massive announcement?Quote:
