Because she gets much more publicity than those Clio and Fiesta drivers and more than some of the other S2000s too....Quote:

I think meeke is over driving the Peugeot, it just doesnt seem to have speed compared to last year, and that's why he's the one making the mistakes, I think the title is juho's this year.
For sure the Peugeot got faster, but the Fabia did more so...Quote:

I'm sure she does, but unless she improves massively, surely sponsors will leave her. If she comes about 30th in IRC events in a S2000 car then she may as well move down a peg and drive a Fiesta or something where she may be more competitive. She never has any chance of points - must be demoralising when she evaluates her aims for the event. It is always just to 'finish and get more experience'. Experience is no good if you have no pace.Quote:

Now in the rest of the events it's different talk, I dont see him winning in Barum for example.
that you even mention her shows why she is worth backing, a man in that car and we wouldnt even comment! She gets more coverage than all but the very top drivers in IRC, and its not hard to understand why! ;)Quote:

Kopecky is really good driver and he should be the IRC driver with more rhythm... don't forget he is always competing with great oponents... IRC and CIR..
He won in Italy last week against drivers that knows the satages very well... so.. it wouldn't be a suprise seeing Kocpeky winning in Madeira..
Remember Basso, and Kremer in Madeira for their first time... especially Basso... ;)
Haaa.. and local boys don't have any chance this year...
Delay in SS11 due to the Mayor's intervention! Casier and Mikkelsen haven't started yet!
edit: SS11 cancelled due to spectator numbers
Well let's wait and see, what I really want is Bruno winning, and with some more competition this year he might be able to do it.Quote:
