Looks like the manufacturers title is decided even before the second event of the season. Skoda has veery strong and long row of cars for most of the events.

Looks like 2WD cup will be finally something like a proper competition this year. Also it looks like ideal platform for new Megane. I heard about three possible Meganes in IRC so far - Albertini, Cherrain and Canivenque.
Indeed Mirek.
The new rules for 2WD Championship, allowing drivers to score points with any elegible 2WD car, it's starting to bring many interesting projects to IRC this year
But, are there different scoring systems for different classes or compete all 2FWD classes amongst them as one only group? In that case they are very different cars... :rolleyes:Quote:

You didnt believed me? I didnt wrote it as a speculation, but as regular info ;)Quote:

More IRC rounds for Toni Gardemeister with his own TGS team.
http://www.maxrally.com/news/entry/g...or_irc_attack/
that's great news :) . Gardemeister deserve a change to show his talent. IRC becomes more and more exciting in 2011: Gardemeister, Sandell, plus Hanninen who will defend his title

It 's true. eWRC.cz and autosport.cz are very reliable sources for rally news. they both must have microfones and cameras inside the team offices and under the beds of drivers :) . thanks for all the big news and inside scoops guys :up:
Translator will be soon...Quote:

IRC 2WD is going to be good , hopefully it will receive more TV coverage :)
First informations about Tour de Corse 2011 - http://www.autosport.cz/clanek.php?cl=11735
I see I must start learning czech ;-) I tried once already
For you it should be easier because our languages are "little bit similar" :) But I promise that "online translator" will be ready soon.
What type of "online translator" you are plannig to use, could help me with my web page translation in english.Quote:

Apparently he will team up with Nicolas Gilsoul, but nothing official yet. ;)
Andreas Mikkelsen will do all the remaining rallies of the 2011 IRC, except Ralli Vinho Madaira. Skoda Uk confirmed his program
As always... Madeira is one of the favourit rallys to discard for foreigners drivers...
Yes. Because it is most expensive and teams "lost" car for a long time because of travel...
Also Massimiliano Settembrini will start in more IRC events - http://www.autosport.cz/clanek.php?cl=11758

Peugeot Belgium-Luxembourg have announced the program of Thierry Neuville and Nicolas Gilsoul
19/22 januari : Monte Carlo Rally
14/16 april : Rallye Islas Canarias
13/15 mei : Tour de Corse
23/25 juni : Ypres Rally
26/28 augustus : Czech Barum Rally Zlin
9/11 september : Meszek rally
22/24 septembre : Rallye Sanremo
14/16 oktober : RAC Rally of Scotland
03/05 november : Condrozrally
No Yalta and no Madeira neither for Neuville then :mark:
Unfortunately there´s not many drivers interested in doing the Yalta Rally.
So far, I think only Andreas Mikkelsen and Guy Wilks shoulb there from the top drivers. Maybe Jan Kopecký to
In my opinion Kopecký will be there. Ukraine is quite important market for Škoda.
Sandell, Mikkelsen, Wilks are confirmed for Yalta rally, plus Anderson and his Proton teammate and we can expect Kopecky. Not bad for a start. Ofcourse Tour de Corse wil be the second highlight of the 2011 IRC (after Monte Carlo), with every regular IRC driver plus Solberg, Vouilloz and Delecour.
