    Surely there are good elements in IRC but being a serious series don't you think there should be at least competitors in each event...could you imaging a season ending Wales Rally GB being run without any WRC contenders?
    Yes Sanremo has a special place in my heart so what ? : However both you and Tomi have unfairly criticized the IRC serie from the very start of it. It's a new serie with few Manufactories but with great events in the Calender, and next year will have more Team and drivers involved...why not given a chance ? In China the entry-list was poor because the Champ was decided already, it has happened to WRC too Also NZ never have a great entry list eventhough it's a fantastic event...

    But that's the cars and stages and not the series that makes it spectacular.

    I go to Finland because of the WRCars, makkara (I still owe you a pack of those horrid blue cheese ones don't I DJ?) and Gr F cars. Would I go if it was just an IRC round? Probably not because the calibre of drivers isn't as high and the machinery isn't as fast

    San Remo has always been good in the wet especially when there are lots of leaves on the road
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    For me its the same if there is a IRC or not, Its just not the right place for drivers who aim to the top in rally, but its a good serie for guys who has failed in WRC or has no aim to drive on the top of the sport.
    Also the events that are in IRC was before the IRC and will be after IRC, so the series brings nothing new really.

    For me, S2000's are by far the most boring cars that I have ever seen.

    agree with Wim Impreza...spectacular a car is not from the sound, but from torque as it exits a corner

    Sure it is. Problem is there are only 2 of them Enjoy it. That I call boring.
    My idea of rallying is competition.
