[ERC] Circuit of Ireland 2014

[Jarek Z]

The ERC section was fantastic actually, the Irish championship was a sideshow last weekend, on friday their was a lot of people leaving for the next stage once Lappi went past and not watching the Irish championship guys at all.

In the National the oil seller led till he went off on the last stage handing the win to the alcohol seller both driving S12B Imprezas with the energy supplier ending up 2nd in his 08 Focus WRC. They are all decent drivers with decent cars and its great to have them, but Lappi, Breen and Abbring are a level higher at the wheel

Thanks for your impressions. It's always good to hear the impressions from someone who was spectating the rally on site.

I have just compared the overall results of the ERC competitors and the National competitors. After SS12 official Skoda driver was over 37 seconds faster than the Irish oil seller. SS13 was probably cancelled for the national drivers, so it is hard to compare further results.

After SS12:
Esapekka Lappi (Skoda Fabia S2000): total time 1:23:13.6
Garry Jennings (Subaru Impreza WRC): total time 1:23:51.7
