How does that work - they pre-drive the track and write down the optimal shifts and such on a map?... and the co-driver's job is to read it back as they go?
^ In many rallies (including WRC) drivers are allowed to pre-run the stages with their co-driver and create their own pacenotes. Other times the organizers provide official pacenotes that all teams must use.
Each team has their own style, but pacenotes are a sequence of shorthand created to describe the course. Particularly, the distance to, and severity of corners along with other track anomalies such as jumps or cautions. This particular team (crazy as they are) used speed guidance as well, by means of proper gear selection.
In example: 100 K right 2 into 400 flat
Would be read on the course to mean 100 meters to a level 2 severity kink to the right which then opens to a 400 meter flat. Bend severity is generally rated 1-5/6 where 1 is tight and 5/6 is loose (this can be flipped, depending). Flat means floor it!

Whoa... Did that move? Didn't it appear in among the other channels on the left side before? Entirely possible that it was already flagged and I just missed it. My bad!
You're correct that Ireland is neither in, nor part of, England. However it's still part of the British Isles.
It can get a little confusing, but breaking it down as follows helps:
Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales. (But neither Northern nor Southern Ireland.)
The United Kingdom includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. (Southern Ireland being an independent country called the Republic of Ireland, also known as Eire.)
The British Isles, however, are made up of the islands of Great Britain, Ireland and the several surrounding smaller islands.
So although Ireland is not part of Great Britain it is still part of the British Isles and therefore "British".
I'm not privileged and can't re-add this back into the * British channel, (Not to be confused with the English Channel with the tunnel going under it), so hopefully someone else will.
"Ah For Fook Sake, Lad, Fook It" is actually the title of the National Anthem of Ireland:
"Ah for fook sake, lad, fook it -- Our country's gone to hell in a booket; We got the unemployment, an' we sure the fook aren't gon't enjoy it."
It goes on for another 600 stanzas, but most of the singers are so reeling pissed by the time they get to that fourth line it's usually time for a "pint and a fight -- a great Irish night!" Makes starting footy matches a bit of a challenge.
Stumble This
I like the way the Irish accent sometimes goes completely Jamaican. Listen closely

England ≠ Britain either, just to be picky.
