    2011 IRC: rallies, drivers, teams, plans?

    I know it is a bit early, but the 2010 IRC is in the final stage, with only Meeke, Hanninen and Kopecky with a (realistic) run for the title, and temas and drivers are planning a revenge on 2011.

    The calender will be onveiled very soon, with almost the same 12 rounds ( the best 7 results will count) starting with Monte Carlo. Curtiba rally will disappearing, because it was not a big succes. Rally Sardegna will be back in the WRC. Rally Argentina is still in IRC and will be run in the area of Mendoza. The organizers will pay for the transportation of the cars. Corsica will host a gravel rally, and a Hungarian rally will be on the calender.

    Peugeot UK wants revenge in 2011, and is searching for a new driver, as Kris Meeke is leaving the team, and PSA, for Mini Prodrive in the WRC. Which driver is a realistic driver for the team next year.

    Luca Rosetti has plans to content the 2011 IRC, with a Abarth Grande Punto ?

    Skoda Uk and Guy Wilks are pleased with the succes and want more.

    Peugeot Portugal and Bruno Magelhaes are also reported for 2011.

    autonews magazin reports that Rally Argentina will be in 2011 IRC, but nothing is confirmed. That why I started the tread, to get more information for next season. I would be surprised if Argentina would be on both calenders

    Very strange indeed.
    The wrc event will be at the end of May and if Argentina will also have a rally on IRC, and if it is on the same date that was this year, if so, will certainly have to be organized by another club than the organization of the rally wrc.
    In that way, I think it will be possible.

    I think I remember some organizers talk about this issue on argentinian radio on this year's IRC radio coverage.

    If I'm not wrong they said they were able to host two different events, one for IRC and another for WRC...

    AFAIK there are only 5 rallies that will be in IRC 2011 for 99.9% sure. These are:

    1. Monte Carlo
    2. Ypres Rally
    3. Barum Rally
    4. San Remo
    5. Rally Scotland

    The others depend more or less on negotiations, their budget and Eurosport budget for 2011.
