+1

I would like to see Cronin or Adam Gould in Peugeot UK next year...

Mikko wants to do Monte Carlo again, that would be really good: http://www.maxrally.com/news/entry/h..._carlo_return/

Nice calendar, but still missing a Snow Rally. What happened to the Arctic Lapland Rally, they were a candidate once ?

I think that the Arctic wants to be only the Finnish Rally Championship and international event. No need to be round of the IRC due to the regulations and when independent they can do what ever they want...

IRC regulations are extremely free and organizer can do almost whatever he wants (even run WRC as Canarias). I think that main issue is Pirelli deal of Finnish championship.

Yes, it was and still is for one more year. The Pirelli deal is for seasons 2009-2011 but after that, hopefully.

Hanninen and Kopecky are under contract to Skoda for more IRC in 2011. Juho wants to also do some more WRC rounds too.

I guess Skoda will also use 2011 to develop a "Superproduction" Fabia 1.6T.

They will not run so many IRC events next year, i think they will do only about four events. They will be concentrating indeed to develop 1,6T Fabia. :)

Nothing to worry about. Just wait a bit ;)
