Circuit of Ireland 2016

Nearly all the irish R5 - s2000 crews registered last year so hopefully it will happen again

I think they had to register last year or they were confined to the national event. Don't think that's the case this year.

But most of them (at least Moffetts, Thorburn, McCormack) were thinking also about other starts in ERC. This year is different with the plans of brittish drivers...

[PLuto]

Yes, same here in CZ or in Ypres. I personally don't believe these one-shots payed full price of the registration. I guess it was possible to negotiate some better deal

Unfortunatelly, no. This payment is going directly to FIA. And there is no chance to negotiate with them. Only one chance is to find somebody who pay it (organiser? additional sponsor? Eurosport?)

I was offering to make "national" priority, which should be much cheaper (lets say 500 euro), when the drivers will be allowed to start in front of the field, but without chance for prize money. But it was refused, AFAIK by FIA...

ERC Registration costs €3,000 !!!!!! and the entry list is out next Monday the 21st according to the regs.

A privateer finishing third or higher can win that back straight away though.

Thank You for the information.

Well, these guys who can pay 30-40k € for a rent of top R5 can also pay 3k for registration...

It seems Martin McCormack has already registered:

I guess at least some Irishmen will do also Ypres and in that case it makes sense to register.

Tonmmy Doyle didn't pay it last year and was rather invisible on his way to a decent 7th in his Fabia S2000 but was still running in the international section
