British & Irish Rally calendars 2023

One of the issues is that if you have a world star coming to the Uk, then it puts off other people who may be wanting to win it.

I'm not sure this would be the case as most of those likely to enter the BRC this year will just be those with the money behind them to do so, rather than real serious competitors. I reckon doing events with someone like Breen would be something they would love to be able to brag about.

I don't recall entries from the likes of Hannu Mikkola, Stig Blomqvist, Per Eklund, Ari Vatanen or Henri Toivonen in the BRC putting anybody off entering. I think it actually encouraged British & Irish drivers to enter to see how close they could get to the international stars.
