2010 IRC Rally Sanremo

[J4MIE]

12.3.1
Start of Section 1 - 2 will be given according to racing numbers, the lower racing number will start first, with the exception
of different decisions taken by the Stewards of the Meeting. The start of the Sections 5 and 6 will be given according to day 2 starting list. The interval between FIA priority drivers will be 2 minutes and between all other drivers 1 minute.
12.3.2 The starting order for Sections 3 and 4 will be established according to the general classification after Section 2.
The Clerk of the Course, after talking with the Stewards, will be allowed to re-locate crews that have been considered in an anomalous position. All FIA priority drivers will always start with 2 minutes intervals.

Agree some of the seeding is a bit weird, maybe the order will be changed to suit by the organisers before the start. But looks a great entry list

Even if IRC is not a FIA championship, i still think they should let guys like Loix, Magalhaes and Bouffier start more in front, let's say around number 8 to 12. I don't understand why they let Panizzi, who hasn't been driving a car in competition for ages, start in front. Alltough i understand they want to promote the all new Citroen DS3 R3, i still don't think it is normal start position for Chentre either. How many car will start at two minutes interval? Because if they start at one minute interval, it might give serious problems in startfield.
I also forget to mention Wilks & Neuville, they also have bad startingnumbers.

Even more crazy is Arzeno with No.85...

Yep Arzeno will get serious disadvantage compared to Chentre and could be serously hampered by the slowest of the Clio R3 drivers

I agree also on that one, Arzeno get's really bad startnumber, especially if you compare with Chentre. I wonder who came up with this seeding?

[Sulland]

]It's 1.6T petrol FWD car. It's not homologated in R3T class, so he has to start in N4.

I thought it was the S2000, he used to drive, so then 5 brands, but still: WRC eat you heart out !!

[Mirek]

In fact he used to drive 1.6T FWD. He drove S2000 only twice

Yep indeed Though Rally-Magazin.de announced that. Wasn't it that he drives with that Corsa to promote it a bit?

What position was Arzeno in when he went off in Monte Carlo?

All I know is that he is driving his own 1.6T FWD according to himself.

Leading 2WD by 2 minutes and 13th overall.

Thanks.

So seeded at 85? Madness, very unfair and even dangerous.
