Here's the full seeded entry list: https://www.rallies.info/webentry/20...e=s&combined=1
I was expecting another 'works' Vauxhall ADAM but it doesn't seem to have come together. This slightly strangely worded release implies they were looking for pay drivers - https://www.msabrc.com/news/vauxhall...ressing-plans/RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

Maybe on the Pirelli event there will be a second Vauxhall driver? Junior entrants don't have to drive every event? Quality wise good entry. Quantity was probably better last year?

Any guesses?

Some Fiestas and maybe some Mitsubishis, but no idea in what quantity or spec.
Am I being optimistic in noticing there's no #5 on the Borders entry list yet?Last edited by dodge33cymru; 14th March 2017 at 20:20.

No, but they have an R5 Fiesta free seeing as Cave has moved on. Would surprise me if it was Pryce, but he would fit a fifth seed. As could Greensmith maybe, but that would be highly unlikely as he tends to announce well in advance and seems to be running with M-Sport this year.
Could still be newsworthy if they were entering the Mitsubishis, and the trailer still has their logos all over it, although someone mentioned two of the cars were on their way to Asia.

I'll be there!
I can't see that Max Vatanen has announced anything for this year. BRC PR have been using Ari's quote about the BRC being the 'best national series in the world' repeatedly over the winter, the last time on Twitter being 10th March: https://twitter.com/MSA_BRC/status/840149612904116224 So maybe it'll be Max in their Fiesta? Seeding him 5th would seem rather flattering though...
Pardon my ignorance, but how/why would somebody be left off the entry list at this late stage?

Entry deadline was extended until tomorrow, presumably to allow a few folk to chase sponsors or to coincide with any announcements. BRC has probably been coordinating the main announcements for the series as there seem to have been one a week for the last few issues of Motorsport News.
The rally's Twitter feed has liked a couple of Tweets about it being the fifth seed and one mentioning Osian Pryce, so fingers crossed; would be a great addition if he were able to do the championship.
Assuming it's someone from these isles and is a fifth seed, Pryce, Greensmith, Matt Wilson or maybe Alistair Fisher would seem the most likely candidates to me, and Greensmith and Wilson are obviously M-Sport aligned.
No point speculating though, we'll find out soon enough!Last edited by dodge33cymru; 14th March 2017 at 23:13.

Yey, it's Pryce!

Sounds like a full BRC season too, which is excellent; was surprised he only got two WRC2 outings from DMACK.
Nice to see an actual new entry to the championship this year, and one that should make it even more competitive.Last edited by dodge33cymru; 15th March 2017 at 07:51.
