After this agreement, Nasser Al-Attiyah decided to contest the new S-WRC championship with the RGRS team and a Skoda Fabia S2000 in the colors of sponsor Barwa. The Qatari driver will take the start of the following S-WRC rounds: Mexico, Jordan, New-Zealand, Portugal, Finland, Japan and Wales Rally GB.
RGRS and Nasser Al-Attiyah will also compete in some IRC rounds. As we already announced Argentina will be the first one, but now we can add Sardinia, the Azores, Barum, San Remo and Scotland to the program.
Al-Attiyah will also take the Skoda Fabia S2000 to challenge in four rounds of the MERC being Rally of Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus and Dubai.
The least we can say is that the team from Belgium will have a full agenda.
They will bring two Skoda Fabia S2000’s to the start of some rally’s in the S-WRC, being one for Nasser Al-Attiyah and one for the Norwegian Eyvind Brynildsen. In the IRC they will do the same, this time one for Nasser Al-Attiyah and one for the Belgian Freddy Loix. Having those talented drivers taking out their cars, René Georges Rally Sport expects to complete the season with some superb results as well in gravel as in tarmac rally’s.
Going to be a busy year for you Jack, well done. Presume you'll have more than 2 cars available?
'Monster' kicked 'Kick' out ;)

Ken Block also with Stobart livery
So effectively Al Attiyah wil do 7 IRC rallies, as Cyprus is part of both the MERC and the IRC, just as Jordan is par tof both MERC and WRC. Or does the MERC have regulations that prevent him from scoring points in the other (IRC - WRC) championship?

I've never liked the green and white Stobart livery, and this new version is no exception. I do like Henning's, though.
