FIAERC.com: 85% of Circuit of Ireland entries are from the ERC

The Circuit of Ireland Rally has received a magnificent 53 car entry – with 85% of the field coming directly from the FIA European Rally Championship.
Out of those 45 ERC registered drivers, 13 are from the UK and Ireland and visiting competitors represent a total of 16 different countries. There are 15 R5 and Super 2000 cars from the top flight ERC division, while a record-breaking 19 ERC Juniors will also make the trip to Northern Ireland over the Easter holiday weekend.

The spectacular international field is complemented by a full entry in the Circuit of Ireland National Rally, meaning that fans will enjoy a capacity 140-car field, rich in quality and quantity, competing in counties Antrim and Down on 2-4 April.

“I truly believe the Circuit of Ireland is making huge strides forward and this fantastic entry list really bodes well for the future of the Circuit and indeed for rallying in general,” said Circuit of Ireland event director Bobby Willis. “In the past six years the organising committee has worked extremely hard and I feel quite emotional when I say, I believe we have fulfilled our strapline and really have woken up the sleeping giant!

So why you are coming to this thread? I am looking forward to the event, entry list is really great.

I think it's known as trolling..

Didn't the ERC field outpace the national entries last year anyway?

No, the National Top 4 were quite a bit faster in their WRC cars...

I think if you look at the results from last year there was only a Cpl of stages where the national runners were faster than the ERC field.

Yeah the overall results were different because one stage of the national was canceled so they gained about 7 mins on the main field, but they were a good bit slower

Well, seem to have good results in beginning in his career with 4wd production class in Irish Tarmac Championship. Last year in WRC3 too with R3. I know it's not much, but I kind of wondered what will happen now with "top" 4wd machinery. He seem promising young driver few years ago
