Take two reinvigorated domestic championships from the UK and Ireland, combine with the best drivers Europe has to offer, spice it up by adding a young driver determined to hang on to the trophy he won last year, and you've got the ingredients for rallying success.If that's not enough, throw in a picturesque back drop made famous by the world's biggest television show and you have a recipe for a very special Circuit of Ireland.

Massive entry list, great stage choice and I take my early skepticism back. So much going on across the three days. That report merely scratches the surface. Or it would have been longer.

Many thanks for the likes, folks. Its great to see 100% original content supported.

Great write up Cess. Enjoyed the TV and media coverage this year. I only made it to the second run of hamiltons folly and couldn't hear a thing with the helicopter and the generator from the burger van, but hey ho I will get further down the stage next time.

The McRae rep sweeper car made my day though. Great memories seeing that car as a kid.

I agree completely. It had a different atmosphere, really good weekend!

@KevM and @Graham As an organiser, its great to hear this feedback. We also had some really good feedback from the FIA and competitors which all goes towards making the effort seem worthwhile. There is a huge amount of time and effort put in by organisers to make this event the best it can be.

Couldn't get out to see it myself unfortunately but there was a proper level of excitements surrounding the event that hasn't been there in a good 10 years.
Excellent job @swansty and the rest of the organising team!
