Pluto 'best solution' implies this development is in answer to a problem. Indeed it is, Ferry costs to Ireland are way more expensive than Dover to Dunkirk / Calais so to as BRC competitors to go twice to Ireland for very similar roads (Circuit and Ulster) seemed unattractive. Involvement with Ypres makes BRC so much more attractive as an international stepping stone so a win for Ypres and BRC but maybe long term ERC needs a re-think. Azores and Canaries both suffering (redux) the problem BRC has with Ireland.
