It depends on additional support from importers, right? But I suppose Skoda Belgium are already paying for Duval...

In this case no. Everything depends of chiefs of Skoda, if they will allow to add money for one event or change their plans (to do Ypres instead of another planned rally).

So (from another forum):

Meeke, Loix, Vouilloz, Fontana, Lavio, BF Goodrich (Debackere?), Betti, Solowow with Peugeot
Basso, Alen, Bettini (..) with Fiat
Duval, Kopecky, Haninen with Skoda
Maurin, Waldner with VW
MacHale with Opel?
Stephenson with MG?
Wilks with Proton?

That's 19.. I can hardly wait to see the competition in Ypres this year. With probably the best startfield of the season so far. Anyone could win it, but I'd tip Duval. :p

and don't forget Snijers! that's 19...but with what car???
For the BF Goodrich driver: Tsjoen's hope is on that car...he (normally) will stat in Wervik (2 week before Ypres) with his Abarth...but he already said: "no BF Pug, is no stat for me..."so, we must wait and see & hoping for the Czech Skoda team :s mokin:

I see Bettini and Basso entered.......

..not Ivan Basso then? But Giandomenico...??

Waldherr will not drive his VW Polo S2000 in Iepers, he is concentrating on Austria for the moment...

Do you think Rautenbach will run there, as he expressed interest to run several IRC events ??? :p :

As you can see here, Ypres isnt in his program.
