2010 IRC Rally Islas Canarias
Rally Islas Canarias joins IRC schedule
Eurosport Events, the promoter of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge, has today announced that Rally Islas Canarias ‘Trofeo El Corte Ingles’ will replace Rally Principe de Asturias on the 2010 IRC schedule.
The event will become the fourth round of the 12-event IRC series and take place from 28 April-1 May.
A one-year agreement has been reached between Eurosport Events and the Canarias Sport Club with an option for a two-year extension.
Confirmation of Rally Islas Canarias’ inclusion in the IRC is the result of a successful collaboration between Eurosport Events and Real Federacion Espanola de Automovilismo. This was instigated after the organisers of Rally Principe de Asturias decided they could not honour the terms of their agreement with Eurosport Events and declared they would no longer host the IRC round, which had been due to run from 9-11 September.
Marcello Lotti, the General Manager of the IRC, said: “We are grateful to President Carlos Gracia Fuertes, of Real Federacion Espanola de Automovilismo, who supported the IRC in finding a quick and solid alternative solution after Rally Principe de Asturias encountered financial issues. Rally Islas Canarias enjoys a good reputation and benefits from a strong organisational background. We are hopeful this partnership will not be a one-off experience.”
Rally Islas Canarias is an all-tarmac event and is one of the most famous rounds of the Spanish asphalt championship. The rally organisers are making special arrangements for IRC international regular teams to transport their cars and equipment to the event.
The revised 2010 Intercontinental Rally Challenge schedule is as follows:

02: Rally Internacional de Curitiba (Brazil) 04-06 March (Gravel)

Well if the IRC regulars will go to Canarias than I will welcome it because it will fill a very big gap in the calendar.

Good luck to Gran Canaria! After the heady days of El Corte Ingles its nice to see them getting top line rallying back on the island. If I wasnt off to Barbados I might just have gone to watch as have enjoyed my previous trips!

If someone decides to come and needs some type of additional information, which it does not hesitate to ask here or to send a private message.
Apart from the Rally IRC, there will be a rally separate, where they were informing vehicles that are not accepted by the FIA for the IRC or for ERC Cup WEST. In this rally can take part the Spanish/normal GT, the Spanish N+, as well as WRC's, Kit Car's, Groups B or vehicles that have lost the homologation FIA or without homologation that they can take part in the Canary Championship (so called Groups TA or TN).Canary Islands, Natural and Racing Paradise!

I believe that the door of the porter, the back doors and the crystals are lightened, this in the N4 +.
On the other hand, in the Spanish championship the S2000 they can run with a reduction of 50kg. If they wanted to run with this reduction they would have to go out in the second rally.Canary Islands, Natural and Racing Paradise!
Not important, but nice to see that he has still the ability to drive fast
