Derek not have the WRC rear wing on the car?

I wouldn't pay £15 to stand and freeze in Kirkistown.

It's an R5 Fiesta. Think he sold the Fiesta WRC he was using at the Turkey Run (PX14 something or other).

Yes as @Cess said it is an R5 car that went from M-Sport to the Caribbean - at this point R5 means nothing in their championships and i assume it ran WRC spec stuff when out there, Elfyn drove the car on last years Rally Barbados after it done Jamaica and Trinidad events with Penti Powell and Simon Jean-Joseph.

On the entry list he was entered as WRC and the only R5 car on the grid was Woodside in the DS3 of Greer's, so i imagine the R5 fiesta is running the more open re-stricter and as such needed to run Class 9 rather than Class 10
