Chris Mellors said on Rally Radio that a 2 car IRC programme for Proton is pretty much confirmed and he is off to Malaysia next week to put the finishing touches to the programme.
They also plan to run 2 cars in APRC and Alister McRae will be one of the 4 drivers. Alister wants to do IRC now having had a taste but Mellors is also talking to other interesting drivers (I hope Vouilloz and Basso included)
Or Mikkelsen in one of the cars ?!Quote:

Andreas has been supported by Hankook recentely, and they can't go to WRC...
Meeke will stay with Peugeot for 2010.
A McRae will do IRC all or most rounds with Proton.

So will Renault register for the series?
According to Pluto's article yes. Since it's in Czech language...
Clio R3 Trophy (no order): Rallye du Var, Rallye du Valais, Ypres Rallye, Barum Rally, Mille Miglia and sixth event is not decided.
He is very close to do it...Quote:

Anyone knows who they are? I am expecting Toni Gardemeister to be one of them.
I really hope this comes to fruition, the Proton was really good to watch in Scotland and sounds nice too. The car is not yet there with the best but with a couple of decent drivers they could do well.
Yes, it's a great S2000!
