A lot of tarmac for the first few events.. But looks like a decent calendar.

ITK ?

Hmm.

Ulster Rally is called off now. It's looking grim for the 2020 BRC & ITRC. :(

"Although cancelling this week will result in heavy losses it does mean that we should be able to survive to see the event run in the future."

West Cork Rally postponed now. :(

Breen confirmed he would speak to Adamo and ask them the develop a special Irish tarmac set-up for the i20. This would help R5 sales there even more.

Interesting to see which tyres Craig Breen is on, esp if its the MRF's...

West Cork Rally is 137 miles over two days and 14 Stages... that's more like it ! :)

Nice West Cork Rally entry:

9 x Ford Fiesta R5’s
6 x Hyundai i20 R5’s
4 x Ford Fiesta MkII R5’s
4 x Proton Iriz R5’s
4 x VW Polo GTI R5’s
1 x Citroen C3 R5
1 x Citroen DS3 R5
Almost a dozen...

Price switches to a VW Polo R5 from the West Cork Rally !

From the videos I've watched the Proton looked pretty nimble. But on the hills and out of corners it did seem down on power compared to the other R5's.

Where Cave broke the wheel:

Comfortable win for Edwards after Cave lost the time.

Nice to see the Fiesta R5 Mkll beating the latest Hyundai's. ;)
...

Shame for Cave losing 3mins on SS3. Thats the win chance gone.

Matt Edwards with a stall on the line of SS1 losing 3.3s to Cave. Could be crucial in a close battle.

NEWS: Osian Pryce makes his BRC return in a Hyundai i20 R5

Osian Pryce will return to the British Rally Championship (BRC) for the first time in over two and a half years when he contests this...

Hope the Gt Orme isnt cancelled again if divers safety boats cant be out due to stormy seas...

Matt Edwards@MERallysport

Good first day in the new car! A credit to @msportltd. Very different in a lot of ways to MK1 but already feel comfortable. Looking forward to getting going now against...

Really hope the Iriz R5 is competitive but I doubt it if its anything like the ones in Galway.

Although Mellors has won the Cambrian Rally in the past which should help here.
