British & Irish Championships 2024

Gutted to hear Matt Edwards is off the road on SS2 in the Galway Rally this morning.

That explains the sudden gap between the two first drivers and the rest of the field on that SS2

Note: times on SS2 for cars 1 and 2 are being checked, they are incorrect

E. Sorted now. After SS5 Cronin leads with 2 fastest stage times in the Fiesta.

15 sec lead for Cronin after Day 1 in Galway. Impressive after such a long lay-off and in a new car. Nice to see him and the updated Fiesta Rally2 being competitive again in Ireland.

Josh Moffett's new C3 hasn't been quite such a smooth transition and needs plenty of tweaks but Devine is still strong in the old Polo.

Surprising entry for the BRC opening round !

Chris Ingram was on the entry list for the still born Hallamshire stages so not surprised to see him back but Keith did say he might just try the BRC opener as well as the ITRC and guess M-Sport will be keen to see him do both series

As expected quite a few National Tarmac crews showing as BRC registered like John Stone so maybe as I thought some have decided to fit regulation restrictors and have a go seeing as at least 3 rounds count for both championships

It'll be interesting to see how many are actually BRC registered when the event start-list is published and how many ticked the box on the event entry form "just in case". I can't find a way to access any list of registered contenders on the BRC web site, so there's no way of knowing who has actually registered at this time.

In any case, given the cost and time involved in fitting a smaller restrictor & re-mapping the engine, I doubt that anyone will go down this route if they're combining National Tarmac with a BRC run. Much easier (and £250 cheaper) to register for the BRC Open category than to run in BRC1.

Ingram's not showing as a Probite BRC entrant now, so just a one-off...

BTW he's also doing the Riponian in the TR7 V8 !

I’m confused already by this new naming structure, I thought these cars would be eligible for BRC National?

Interesting to see the top 3 historic seeds on this weekend's Riponian are 4WD Group A machines. Will be really keen to see Chris out in the TR7 though and my mate has bought a replica BL jacket from Appleby's just for the ocassion!

Good to see Meirion Evans has entered the BRC (on the NW Stages list). He wont have a better chance of the title.

Cronin on the entry too but having won the Galway Rally I wouldnt be surprised if he pulled it.
