Jan has been so far the most important development driver as well. Public usually doesn't see this...

I really hope Bryan Bouffier will do full IRC in the 2012 spec. 207 S2000 :confused:

TGS Motorsport posted in Facebook that Gardemeister's Fabia S2000 is up for rent. Is there any news will Hankook team up with anyone for IRC 2012?

In other words Toni won't have a programme himself next year?

TGS advertisment has been up since mid-November already.

So is Hankook giving up rally and IRC, or just replacing the driver?

Interesting strategy by skoda. Clearly they think that Juho and Jan are not suitable for SWRC. Or are they banking on the prospect of more eastern european wrc events.

No, it clearly shows that WRC events are VW playground.

sepp wiegand is probably going to do all irc rounds with skoda germany: VW-Junior bei Skoda Deutschland*:: rallye-magazin.de

Great chance to learn for Sepp and great that Skoda Deutschland shows commitment to the series.
