If the BRC is to expand it will need more foreign drivers to enter.

It is cheaper to get to Belgium than it is to Ireland or Isle of Man.

Serious risk of closed stages and notional times though. Bumpy, narrow lanes, fierce competition and the sheer pace of this rally means it will certainly not be without incident.

All teams and independent media were asked to hold back their in-car and stage footage until after the UK TV broadcasts. This request was well observed and, only now, is this footage starting to...

I think a lot of R5 crews have entered the Nation event as this is already full. It will be interesting to see how many enter the International event.

(They are the same stages)

Marty will still be using his Fabia. Should be right up there at the sharp end.

I have heard from a very reliable source that Porsche themselves are getting very interested in the RGT Cup. Expect to see some manufacturer supported entries very soon.

We have tried a little. Helps to keep our sponsors happy before the real one arrives!

They said on Rally Radio that there was a problem with dust clogging the air intakes. I suspect this may cause the ECU to reduce power as it won't like reduced air flow...

Is the Bouffier / Moreau partnership a 'one off' or a more permanent arrangement?

Mladá Boleslav, 15 April 2015 – Green light: the new ŠKODA Fabia R 5 celebrates its debut on the world's rally tracks. ŠKODA Motorsport will contest three elite rally championships...

Armstrong had a 31 second lead over Bergkvist before he got his 5 minute penalty.

Bergkvist was going at a tremendous pace, so to take 30+ seconds out of him I'd say that must be pretty 'Flat...

The most dangerous thing about COI is drinking too much Guinness the night before.

It's also probably the easiest event ever to spectate on.

He must also have been 'flattered' in Acores, Barum, Ypres, Ireland and Valais last year too.

Seems he is very lucky with his tyres.

Strange that Consani is so subdued today. He is usually very consistent and very fast. Has he a problem with the car?

Brand new car. Built by his family's DGM company.

Is the entry fee less for a 'rumour' entry?

If so, please put me down in an R5 Hyundai. My Mother will co-drive. She is only 83.

As far as Lefebrve is concerned it not a 5 minute thing to go from 2WD to 4WD. He will get there soon and I believe he'll be a future Champion.

Breen or, more likely, Peugeot's mistake was not...

Pluto loves DMack, I've heard.

Does Alexey's 'We Want Peace' graphic refer to a particular conflict or is it just a general statement of sentiment?

I was thinking exactly the same. Looks very committed for just a PET.

There will be no BRC in 2015.

My feeling is that it will return in 2016 with R5/S2000 cars as the premier class.

I have only heard of the one gearbox modification so I presume we are talking about the same thing. I thought it was a very recent change not back to Autumn..

The DS3 R5 has a modified gearbox - I presume the same applies to the 208.

Can someone enlighten me on why Raimund is not running in the ERC event? Surely he uses 15" rims on the Fabia anyway.
