Afaik the all time RC2 record was Ypres in IRC (2011 maybe) with 28 or 29 S2000 cars.

Ypres 2011 had 29 S2000 and 1 Mini RRC on the list. Sanremo 2010 had one more, 31 S2000s. As for R5s, this year's Rally Sweden holds the record. I think eventually 24 started, 4-5 R5 crews withdrew their entry after recce.

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

Be great to see the entry list - hopefully it'll be out soon.

I'm off to the COI for my first taste of Irish tarmac this year - if anyone has any spectator advice/tips etc would be good to hear them!

Polish driver Filip Nivette (Ford Fiesta R5) has just said he is going to compete in Circuit of Irealnd, too.

With so many entries having coming in it's quite an intriguing situation. Very interesting listening to Julian Porter on Absolute Rally. He thinks that crews paying the ERC registration fee is going to be key for getting good road position during the rally - something British rally crews need to take into account.

And I'd guess also to ensure you're entry gets selected. Because it sounds like people will be turned away.

How much does ERC registration cost this year?

Of course, the better drivers stand a chance of winning that back from the ERC prize fund..

I suppose Elfyn Evans will be in Ireland as part of his BRC campaign?

It is same problem on every ERC (and also WRC) round...

Nearly all the irish R5 - s2000 crews registered last year so hopefully it will happen again

Yes, same here in CZ or in Ypres. I personally don't believe these one-shots payed full price of the registration. I guess it was possible to negotiate some better deal :)
