Unfortunately no :(

Repeat appeal - anyone in UK or Northern Europe fancy a dash to Ireland for at least the 2 days of the event. Cheap flight to Dublin, meet up there, and share hire car costs to drive up to Ulster. PM me if interested

Can't wait to see the official entrylist tomorrow monday :bounce:

Especially the Junior R2 class ;)

The Frenchman, who currently lies third in the ERC Drivers’ standings, has swapped his Peugeot 207 S2000 for the new car.
Co-driven by Maxime Vilmot, Consani will debut the DS3 R5 on the Circuit of Ireland (2-4 April).

“A difficult task awaits us with the learning of this new car, the work of adjustments looks huge, but we are looking forward to familiarising ourselves with this fantastic car,” said Robert.

Having won 7,000 Euros in ERC privateer prize money already this year, Consani did say it was “time to man up and maybe invest in something bigger”. He’s a man of his word!

Inspired by Red Bull's F1 testing livery? It's certainly eye-catching!

It will be interesting to see how Consani gets on with the new car. I wasn't that impressed with him last year, but with a more modern car and more experience maybe he can make a step up..

Not so much impressed with him? In his first season with 4WD car, and with the oldest S2000 in the field? For me his speed was biggest surprise of ERC in last year.

Consani and his speed is OK, but in 2013 Bonnefis was the faster guy from those two in Renault team in my opinion.

Yes, Germain was very fast. But as 2012 season was very good for Robert, 2013 season was very bad for him. He had lot of technical problems, he made lot of mistakes, he was changing codriver. Almost everything went bad...

When looking the onboards on Eurosport Consani tends to remind me of Delecour's temper... Hope it doesn't reflects on his performance too much, don't say it does, but with this state of the art R5 there is some pressure now, he must perform very well.

Bonnefis came from the cup, he did the job to become a professional driver. Consani is a good gentleman driver, nothing more.
