So far yes, we don't know what may happen if big names arrive and more broadcasters start showing some interest.

Actually AFF forgot to mention that Garde's aim is for the Super 2000 cup, saying that its the cheapest and make most sence, if it will become true.

After years of doubt about WRC, I think the tide is turning and WRC will prevail, I guess IRC will start to loose its position from 2011 if the new manufacturers join WRC. Even in 2010, with a little clever work with rules and promotion, e.g. equal points being given for S2K cup as the 2 WRC manufacturers, we could have an exciting season. Maybe Garde, Galli, Atko, PG etc, also Kimi would run in S2K cup. If each of those get 'top points' for a win in their class, and say Loeb gets 'top point' in the WRC clas maybe we will have an exciting conclusion. It would bring in a bit of variety to see a few Fiesta's Abarths, Skoda's and Protons, it would also be good for the 'motorsport economy' with teams, mechanics and engineers also being required.

maybe, on the other hand he was close to win monte, in a car, sorry old fiat, that worked ok for 1 day.
Actually it shows where the drivers really want to drive, sofar i have never heard any driver saying that their goal as drivers would be irc, but many has said they aim for WRC.

I agree with Tomi - the IRC series is a substitute for those who due to lack of seats and / or money to buy their drives are forced to IRC. Having said that IRC does have more manufactureres and therefore seats, paid drivers or bought drives with a lot less money than it takes to get a bought wrc seat, and more of an even chance to win, (in a 'private' team car)
