Here is the "trailer & test day" of Peugeot Sport Turkey's new contenders, the first female drivers competing in IRC:

And here is the launch of the team in which 207 S2000 is relocated onto a skyscraper; 239 meters high, viewing Istanbul :) :

Well, seems like Škoda has superb lineup for this year and also Ford is going to play some jokers later in the season. It looks harder and harder for Peugeot to repeat its win in the IRC manufacturers category. Skoda has all the good drivers so far and Peugeot has only Meeke to fight against their armada.

In manufacturer championship You're probably right (although I wound't underestimate Thierry Neuville) but in drivers championship Kris Meeke is the only top driver on every surface. He stays as top favorite for me.

Yes, Meeke is for drivers top. But this year there are a few rougher rallies like Cyprus and Sardegna where Peugeot might not be too reliable and there will be very tight competition between Kopecky, Hänninen, Wilks and hopefully Attiyah (seems that he has found the real speed of Fabia) and Mikkelsen as well in the near future. So, his task is very much harder than last year.

Toni Gardemeister could be back at Sardegna.

What are the jokers you talk of that Ford will play? Hirvonen on Sanremo would be nice :)

I too think that Skoda will not be beaten in the manufacturers championship, but Meeke is probably still favourite for the drivers title. He has retired twice but could feasibly score 7 wins this year - there are 9 events to go and Kris already has one!
