I do not believe that can be the final livery of Sousa's Fiesta. If I'm correct this was a simple sketch made by a local designer...Quote:

Martinique Island Rally Champion 2009, Johan Heloise some races in IRC 2010 with TOP RUN Evo X.
But which will make, IRC (Eurosport) or IRC (Italian)?

Yes, Wilks will do IRC this year with Skoda.Quote:

He still has not made a final decision on the Skoda or Ford question, but will have a meeting with M-sport in the near future.
He is not sure if he can make the deal in time to be able to drive MC, but hopes so.
:up: Great news. Hope to see him on Monte.Quote:

It should be mentioned that Alfonso, Antonio and Michele Agnello were very optimistic for the new project for 2010 and not yet decided whether there will be a 2nd order of the Japanese, it is rumored British Mark Higgins as a possible driver of the other Evo X to structure of the Top Run Racing.

Will he Fabia S2000 again be prepared by RGRS? Will they fight with weapons from Belgium (Kronos vs RGRS) in the Battle of the Brits (Peugeot UK vs Skoda UK) :) ?Quote:

That's what was reported in Motorsport News. Obviously we have a forum member who can say for sure. But why break up a winning combination. Good luck to them all.Quote:

Do you mean that the deal is not yet done, between Skoda UK, Rene George Rally Sport and Wilks, despite the "confirmation" in all the sites?lQuote:

News on a French forum says that Freddy Loix is on the verge of signing a deal with a sponsor for 7-9 rounds of the IRC, car not yet decided.
Car for Freddie ?
The choise is between a Skoda Fabia from RGRS or a Peugeot 207 from Kronos. The budget is in place for 7 rallies, but he can probarly get 2 more with the right offer from one of the teams. Loix has trouble making a choise.
He doesn't have trouble making a choice at all, he is just waiting for the best deal for next season. In the mean while he is in Tunesian desert playing with some jeeps. :DQuote:

It's a shame that Proton are missing Monte, probably the most high profile event of the season. Now I fear we won't see them until the series gets back to Europe in June.
At least after that it stays in Europe till the end of the year, but that is a long wait...
The deal for Thierry Neuville with Kronos and Peugeot Belgium-Luxembourg is still not done, and looks not be ready untill the Sardinia rally. In the mean time Neuville wil drive a Ford Escort Mk2 in the Legends Boucle de Spa 2010. So Kronos has still 2 empty Peugoet 207 S2000's ready in Monte Carlo? Ogier is with PH Sport, and Sarrazin with ...?
PS a very interesting and exciting rally 2010 :bounce:
For Sarrazin, his 207 is a Peugeot Sport's car, which Sarrazin will drive with his own team.
Mikkelsen Confirms that he will do IRC in 2010, but is still undecided on car. Will do SWRC in Sweden to test out the Fiesta before he decides btw Skoda and Ford for the IRC campaign. They also say they will do MC, but is not specifying car.
Read interview here: http://translate.google.no/translate...n&hl=&ie=UTF-8
They could rent a Skoda or use their own Subaru Cup car for MC, and then decide on car after Sweden.
Good fun with a Norwegian in IRC, no matter in what car !!
Just curious... does Hankook make wide winter tyres with studs which are nercessary for MC?

No, Hankook has so far no tyres for a winterly Monte.Quote:

Fantastic news - great to see him in the IRC. So he isn't doing Monte Carlo though? But is doing Sweden and some rounds of the Norwegian Championship too. Hope for Fiesta for a bit of variation in the IRC.
