The IRC seems to be overall organized better then the WRC these days, and to me personally I think it has some exciting (more exciting?) events on it's calendar.
Am I totally losing my mind or is it the case?

Have you had a look at the 2012 calendar and level / depth of drivers?!
The IRC has had some good seasons before, but this new one ain't gonna be one of them.
What's this?! :P
Despite its problems, the WRC is and will remain the Formula One in rallying. :up: :p :
:uhoh:
True, but IRC has had closer fights, and has been more exiting to follow. Mainly because the cars are more closely matched - and no factory cars that are way above the rest in spec !Quote:

There has also been too many cars with only partial development and poor championship commitment, opel corsa, vw polo, mg. Even the proton has been around for some years yet not that many outings consistently.
Then the M sport bring fiesta out pretty recently in 2010 and now here we are in 2012 and as I understand it the normally aspirated 2000cc rules are going to be out of date?
Why cant they just leave the rules alone for at least 10 years to give stability and allow older cars to continue to be used.
There is no point in anybody telling me that some new 1.6t 2013 rally car will give fuel economy, of course it wont so why not let things alone.
But maybe the powers in charge understand things better than me and for 2013 everyone will have lots of money to buy new rally cars.
I think it will be a bit one sided this year, as there seem's to be more skoda's running and full factory cars. it could be as good as the wrc but they need more top cars fiesta's,207/208, mini's and the protons. if they got that then it would be on par in my eyes
last year the IRC was more interesting
You could find IRC more exciting if you only follow rallys through a computer. Live on the stages WRC is far more exciting
