Hehe, if all these news are true we will have at least 20 rounds of IRC. No way... :)

Mixed news - great that potentially the COI is in a major International series. However, I'm not sure what it says about British Rallying that an event that has been praised by all might not run. Sad if true.Quote:

That doesn't necessarily mean the end for Rally of Scotland however, they will maintain dialogue with Eurosport about returning in the future when they really need to integrate it with the BRC.
The rally will not be in the calendar of the IRC but will be even not run in 2012.. Tour of Mull is not bad also..
Great shame – a fantastic event, great stages, stunning scenery. One slight problem, held in the UK.....
Quite simply, here in the UK the sport isn’t attractive to potential backers, commercial sponsors, etc
Too bad :( I really liked the Scottish event...Quote:

Kruuda said that he is planning to do less rallies next year (I think this year he has something like 17 rallies?). Looks like he will be in SWRC again and some events in IRC. But nothing is clear yet.
