[IRC] 2012 Tour de Corse
Tour de Corse is looking like the first event of the year which will have a really good entry list, expecting Skoda to turn up with Hanninen and Kopecky for the first time plus I guess Peugeot might put in an effort for this one (Bouffier & Neuville?), and finally two strong drivers in the Fiesta too with Basso and Flodin.
Skoda:
Mikkelsen
Hanninen
Kopecky
Gassner
Wiegand (?)
Ford:
Basso
Flodin
Peugeot:
Breen
Arzeno
Bouffier (?)
Neuville (?)

I found Hanninen and Kopecky together quite logical...Skoda has never won any famous rally (and they were 3 times so f..king close on Monte) Try to tell your friends about Skoda and about fabia s2000 being best IRC car. They will ask you: "We are not experts but we know Rally Monte Carlo, Rally San Remo, Rally Tour de Corse. Has Skoda won one of those? No? Oh, what a losers" ...and now try to explain them the truth
P.S. This is true story and it happened to me. Exactly as I wrote.Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

Yes, I am sure it will grate on Skoda that they haven't won any of the "big three" and it must also mean Peugeot want to defend that title. I think another thorn in their side could be Basso this year though!

Don't know if we'd see the 3 Fabia works drivers on one rally? But you never know.

Sure we will - at least in Barum But I agree that I don't expect them all in Corsica. I think it's more likely going to be only Jan and Andreas.

I'm sure I read a quote from Hrabanek somewhere saying they would run two cars on Corsica, Barum and Sanremo.
Anyone know if Corsica will have live tv this year?

I think that Jean Matthieu Leandri will take part of this event with the 207 S2000.
I don't know what will do Campana (Mini or Peugeot ?), neither if Succi will start the race.

As far as I know three stages live (one on friday, two on saturday), all of them are on Eurosport International.
