This would discourage any potential new competitors, ie the future of the sport.

This is a terrible move by MI, it has not been thought through, all stakeholders have not been consulted. The rationale put forward for this new regulation is questionable to say the least and without evidential support. MI has to remember that Rallying in Ireland is a passion and hobby for most, not a professional undertaking. Rally has significantly decline over the last decade, MI should be looking for ways to build the sport up again, not wipe it out. I don't agree with these new regulations, I am all for safety and making the sport accessible, affordable and enjoyable for all.

Motorsport is very expensive to start with . This is pure greed and will lead to the decline in rallying . Think of the bigger picture that motorsport brings to the community with restaurants , pubs , hotels ,B & B’s being used .

Here we go again another decision made by MI without any consultation or input from the competitors, I would love to know where all the fires in service happened over the years to bring on this designated refueling zone, I actually can't remember any also why would MI make the decision on who provides the fuel, if this is the way it has to go surely this should be a competitor decision and why not give it to a company that is in the south of Ireland, dealing with cross border companies drives up the price due to customs and so on not to mention most of the rallying in this country is done south of Dublin. We have several suppliers of fuel in the South and we should be supporting them and this should be only for the top competing cars not midfield down who are on tight budgets.

This goes against the very ethos of the clubman. Costs are already at all time highs.

Communication on decision making is absolutely shocking. It shows the absolute disrespect for the clubman who actually holds this sport together. Not a nice thing to do, trying to create a divide among people.
