Devine thanks MRF for selecting him for the rally.

Edit
I hear Ingram is planning for WRC2 in 2026 and doesn't want to swap tyres, cars and teams he wont be using next year. He wants consistency to build back his trust and confidence.

tbf we knew the entry list would be 'poor'. but cool to see miko, mabelini there. i thought they'd also skip that one and jon would be able to close the gap a little bit more hehe

i wonder if rally scandinavia and uk swap dates if more people would come to compete. sweden is also pretty far for the mainlanders but they all go. prestige? more budget at the start of the season?
or uk is just becoming 'too distant' anyway for the mainlanders? (not sure this is a pejorative term, in my language it is not, sorry if it is in english, fellas)

The same curse that the Manx used to suffer from being towards the end of the season however now made worse by increased costs and red tape for mainland Europeans to come to our little island

Paddon's plans fell through also !

Adrian Rzeznik (ERC3 driver) said that Rali Ceredigion is so expensive that he decided to skip it, attend a non ERC rally instead and then come back to ERC in Croatia.

Look at which major series still come to the UK; F1 & MotoGP.......a lot of the others no longer bother, possibly because of too much 'red tape'. Saying that, MXGP, EnduroGP & Hard Enduro still have rounds in the UK, the latter both in Wales.

the fim world super enduro have a round in newcastle since last year or so (maybe 23? idk), but because the current top riders - billy bolt, jonny walker, the brightmore brothers, will hoare and others - are all brits.

Anyone who thinks the entry list is particularly bad, who exactly did you hope/expect to be here that isnt ?

After my experience on Epynt a number of years ago, I'm not sure the Police are the right people to be training radar gun operators.
The event organisers were very clear about the 30 mph speed limit on the range roads and announced to everyone that this would be enforced by "experienced police officers" with radar guns. On accessing the ranges I therefore set my cruise control to just below 30 mph. Shortly afterwards I was flagged down by one of a group of marshals, so I stopped and opened the window. I almost had my nose broken by the butt end of the radar gun that was thrust in my direction. Clearly these were the "experienced police officers". After I'd moved my head back far enough to be able to read the display, I saw that it said 46 kph. I asked "What's that in miles an hour?" and drove off. 46 kph is 28.6 mph, so I was under the limit. What's really concerning is that these "experienced police officers" not only couldn't read the display properly but also couldn't tell the difference visually between a car travelling at 46 kmh and one travelling at 46 mph - 60% faster.
