But Atkinson will be doing APRC - originally there should have been only McRae, but they have changed it, they will be both doing Asia-Pacific and the second driver for IRC is yet unknown - they are still searching... no idea who it might be...

Not so sure about the best line-up. Andersson has crashed again in this rally.

I don´t see that as a crash. It was a large stone that was under some leaves when cutting a corner.
Maybe other cars could broke the suspension if they hit the same stone

IRC rally radio with Olivier Quensel said that Petter will be back for Peugeot in another IRC round, possibly Corsica.

Petter hungry for revenge? Bring it on!! Nice to see him back in IRC for more rallyes.

Btw, IRC drivers are no pushovers if we can conclude anything from this years Monte

That's good news. I can imagine seeing Kimi on some IRC events too...

Is Peugeot France providing the whole budget for Bouffier, or does Peugeot Polen have some sharing too? And does it mean Sarrazin will NOT have his championship try?
