WRC/IRC alternation
Thinking on the proposed WRC method of making up the calendar, that every venue will be used only every second year, it would be an idea that some of the rallies would make a deal with IRC as well to alternate between the two series, to keep sponsors and the staff current and up to date.
This could be a good system for everyone. Has any organisor looked into the possibility ?

I don't think it's a good idea. For me, the IRC has a character of its own, from San Remo etc. It wouldn't have this if IRC only had the rallies that the WRC didn't.

Take a practical example. Sweden and Norway are doing WRC rounds every other year. The sponsors, the staff, and the volunteers that have to be in to make this pretty big organisation into a well oiled machine.
Here IRC or maybe ERC could fill the empty years, to have money to keep a core staff hired, and give the audience a show every year !

IRC gives the rallies the freedom to have their own characters and style and profits from it by including it into their chamionship. WRC forces all rallies to have the same F1 look a like formula.

From what I hear Monte Carlo organisers will decide in April whether they want to be part of WRC in 2010 or IRC.
IRC at the moment is becoming a threat, IF Marcus and Petter and Duval were to be offered paid drives in IRC 2009 or 2010 then it would really finish wrc's credibility.
