To my knowledge, some of cars makes that now drives in IRC (Fiat, Peugeot too if Citroen stops) will propably join the WRC after the new rules about the cars comes. Also I think that there will be next year several S2000 cars in PWRC if they get them more reliable, at the moment its no idea to use S2000 there, too fragile car.Quote:

Please name one that is gearing up to join IRC? And I mean as a proper works team effort not a single cash payment to series promoter as an point scoring fee.Quote:

I'll be honest. I don't watch or follow IRC, so I can't compare the two. But I like WRC, and that's why I follow WRC and come to this forum everyday :D
IMO the best cars and probably the best drivers are in the WRC, but the most competetive, and then most exciting championship, is the IRC. So my answer depends on the point of view
Just watched the IRC from Russia and it was pretty horrible to be honest. Day1 had no car sound, just inboard audio put over everything else.
It doesn't apeal to me at all really. I find a series like the ARC which has the same cars with mixed S2000 and Group N much more enjoyable to watch.
Think the IRC could have been much better if North One did the production.
They are both average series not in the best of strength and both with huge flaws. The concept of there being more companies interested in S2000/IRC seems like a bit of a myth to be honest. All I see is that has any weight or money behind it is Peugeot and Abarth.
And your knowledge about Fiat and Pug comes from where?Quote:
