There is written they will miss Safari due to tests on better version of engine and transmissions.
Thanks Pluto ;)
Jan Kopecky to 2008 IRC rounds in a 207 S2000 ??? :confused:
http://www.autoklub.pl/18267,news.html
As was written in another thread, he is thinking about IRC and choosing a car. And Peugeot is the biggest favourite, but we will see in the future...Quote:

Interesting news Eyvind ;)
The 207 was too good in 07, and "everyone" are now taking that track for 08. Hopefully some manufacturers see the opportunity, and supports the already developed cars, so we can get the wanted diversity in car material !
I also hope for other manufacturers involved in S2000/IRC but the "207 Cup" doesn't make me unhappy !! :p :
After all, Ford is doing a "Focus Cup" in WRC also... :rolleyes:
No but you are from the country they make both the 207, and also the red thing that keep beating the Focus Army !!! ;)Quote:

I hope it's not Ypres...
Hmmm. Odd.Quote:

For your info, Auriol already discovered the Corolla on the Monza Rally Show in november... ;)
Strange rumour of Gilles Panizzi coming to IRC08 in a Grande Punto S2000 !!!
He's Peugeot developper/test driver and would go to Fiat :confused:
It's all about the money!
and what about Bernd Casier ?
Does it say who will run the car by any chance?Quote:

According to Autosport(Portugal) Luca Rossetti would have an international season this year, with most of all european IRC rounds and a few ERC rounds(including home event 1000 Miglia) :eek:
Nothing official they write, but strongly about to be confirmed ;)

I wonder if Peugeot-Sport Svenska will send Patrik Sandell on a few IRC rounds like they did with Joge last year(Rally Russia and Barum) :confused:
I dont think so. They wanted to continue in IRC, but Sandell has agreements with his sponsors to WRC.Quote:
