Ah podium places on ERC classement gets also Fia Prior then :) . Neuville won Bulgaria JWRC maybe it's because of that but pushing of Peugeot makes sense also. It's ridiculous that Bouffier has FIA A without doing nothing for it.. and about Loix money, money..Quote:

I'm talking about FIA championships and earning that Fia A.Quote:

For some people one win in jwrc/pwrc is more than Bouffier achievements. Of course FIA regualtions are the most important here... but as Loix showed, money or connections have more power :)
It looks like once again Ypres will have one of the most interesting entry lists in ERC/IRC. Unfortunately I can't say the same about special stages.
May be winning Monte makes you FIA A driver ;) Pech also got FIA B for national championships, he also has not won an FIA championship
Monte was for IRC not ERC I think Pluto will second that and it probably is because his boss is named Quesnel the guy who cried last sunday :D . Don't know about Pech he could won an ERC 5 region championship, Mirek or Pluto will know that.Quote:

I was very happy with the stages from spectator's point of view when I was there. Tons of great places with deep cuts on 5-6th gear etc. very easily accessible. I can't wish much more. I really don't know why all the people go to those stupid slow junctions.Quote:

Pech won European cup central (coeff. 2, 5, 10).Quote:

IRC wasnt important for FIA, they never gave FIA priority for this championship. Thats why I was surprised, that Peugeot was able to push Bouffier's priority through FIA after winning on Monte. So it looks that there are some changes at FIA and they are starting to respect IRC and pushing from teams and national authorities. Is it signal for future? Bad or good? ...
Yes, I still remember Todt crying over Monte... ;)Quote:
