Maybe one seat more in IRC next year for those who have the budget.

I have read that article, but I dont know what should I think about it...
GT cars allowed ! - http://www.autosport.cz/clanek.php?cl=11386
Imagine the IRC attracting brands like Porsche or Nissan to the championship! If they want to bring back the old rallysport (that was there target), they should at least try it :)Quote:

Short translation of Pluto's info:
Only 2WD, naturally aspirated engine
Stock engine
Restrictor size either 43 mm or 2 x 31 mm (estimated maximum power 400 Hp)
Maximum allowed top speed 180 km/h
Maximum 6-speed manual gearbox
Minimum weight 1200 kg, maximum weight 1400 kg
Minimum weight of particular car counted from engine power to give weight/power ratio 3,5kg/Hp (so 1400 kg / 400 Hp, 1200 kg / 343 Hp etc.)
Stock suspension parts
Stock brakes with additional cooling by air ducts with maximum diameter 100 mm
Similar bodyshell rules to gr.N cars
Accoording to Autohebdo:
The Malaysian manufacturer Proton has unveiled its program for the 2011 season. In addition to the championship Asia - Pacific Rally, Proton will play a full season of the International Rally Challenge, with the Monte Carlo as the first test. PG Andersson and Chris Atkinson will take the wheel of the Satria Neo S2000 on the roads of southern France next January. Alister McRae will also travel during the Championship with Proton Asia - Pacific at a few rallies and IRC.
Are IRC planning to give the RGT Class a green light for 2011 ?Quote:
