According to Xlerate on FB...

Reigning British Rally Championship Champ Chris Ingram has entered the The East Riding Stages Rally - 23/02/25.

Ingram will return to the UK stages with Alex Kihurani beside him in the co-driver seat to pilot the Castrol backed Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 run by Welsh outfit, Melvyn Evans Motorsport to tackle the first closed road rally of the year in Yorkshire.

Edit. Yep , he's on the list !

So far a few names from '24 BRC that haven't appeared other than Max McRae (although after I first posted this 2 tba entries from M Sport have popped up) however regardless the provisional entry for the rally does show the appetite for closed road events. I know the organisers have been able to squeeze another 10 entries into the mix but even with 160 start places available and the usual last minute drop outs there will be a few disappointed crews I suspect. Slightly surprised that there arent a few Irish crews testing the water however already looks like being the best rally of the season in this part of the world.

Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy has two cars entered into East Riding Stages and presumably JBRC but after the initial ballot has closed. So will be 23rd and 24th reserve!

I was surprised with Ingram after saying he was taking a break due to impending fatherhood.

No Osian Pryce is a shame and no Cronin too.

So as it stands according to East Riding entry the BRC top flight consists of:
Roger Henderson - Fiesta Rally2
Neil Roskell - Fiesta Rally2
Callum Black - Fiesta Rally2
James Ford - C3 Rally2
Matthew Hirst - Fabia Rally 2
John Stone - Polo R5
Sam Touzel - Fiesta Rally2
Jason Pritchard - GR Yaris Rally2
Elliot Payne - Fiesta Rally2
Meirion Evans - GR Yaris Rally2
Hugh Brunton - Rally 2 Evo
James Williams - I20N Rally2
Max McRae - ??
Sean Quigley - Fiesta Rally2
Roger Duckworth - Fiesta R5
M-Sport - Fiesta Rally 2
M-Sport - Fiesta Rally 2

Ingram doesn't say on entry list currently he's doing BRC.
