    I heard Chris Ingram thanking a John Coyne for his support.

    He is a former Irish rally driver from the 1980's and the man behind Irish Motorsport's funding of young driver's.

    I think he must've played a big part in filling his funding gap.

    Checking him out he's a pretty wealthy retired CEO of a tech company.

    Great to see, although would be nice if they covered him more in their local sports news prior to that to raise his profile?

    He made a good point; Colin McRae, maybe even Richard Burns were household names in the UK. I could stop 100 people in the street and wouldn’t be surprised if nobody had heard of Kris Meeke or Elfyn Evans. Despite ‘All Live’ and rallies packaged for media coverage the profile in this country has only fallen.

    He has been on Granada & NW Tonight a couple of times over the years, like when Rally GB was using a 'local' stage at Cholmondley. But there hasnt been any coverage of him in ERC since winning the U27 Championship in 2017.

    Although with the size of football, rugby and other sports in the area, I suppose that's not really surprising.

    Seajets seem to be set to continue their support of ERC:

    Not sure if this means a permanent departure for Chris Ingram however he's mentioned here as being part of the Extreme E off road series.
    I saw Billy Monger in the headline but didnt read the article. Good that you did and spotted that mention of Ingram.

    I think Ingram knows Billy so maybe that's how he got connected.

    Extreme-E say, 'an amazing roster of driver's have registered their interest to race with us'. So nothing is confirmed at all yet.

    Bulgarian driver Ekaterina Stratieva wants to increase her number of rounds in the FIA ERC 2020. Her objective is to repeat with the Saintéloc Junior Team with a Peueot 208 R2.

    @JournoJason
    It's welcome news that the @FIAERC is open to returning to Northern Ireland in light of new ERC champion @ChrisIngramGB's success. Both Jean-Baptiste Ley and Chris have told me the series needs the @CircuitIreland back. Problem is there is no functioning @niassembly...
