Pirelli Star Driver

[Viking]

]By the way how is it possible that Austria has a candidate? I thought candidates come from countries which has WRC or ERC event. Is it because Austria is the place where final shotout will be?

You are right in your guessing.

"Entries
Each of the 18 European ASN´s that is organizing a WRC event or an ERC event and the host-ASN is entitled to enter one driver. Please note that the driver must be under the age of 27 at Jan 1st 2009."

Yes - and thats why it is in Austria, because they needed to push Aigner...

do you really think austria has so much power in the fia to force this decission...???

if we had so much power, we can also have a round of wrc or erc in the future. 80))

austria is simply one of the few countries without wrc/erc round.

and the reason why austria choose aigner (poland/kosciuszko and czech rep./prokop) is very easy to understand, every country wants to win this shoout out, and thats why they send theire best available man!
sure many of them are in existing teams and they have/had already theire programs, but to "beat" 19 other young guns from all europe you need to send the best ones.

even if this decission fit´s not 100% into the real idea behind the pirelli programm.....to find a new talent.

maybe for the next time they should add an extra point in the regulations:

- only drivers wich never took part in a round of the wrc are able to take part in the shoot out.

Well done Finland, Norway and Ireland. At least not all countries try to ruin the original idea of supporting new talents!

Yes, I know. Nobody wanted this shootout on Austria, but our people was able to find the right connections and make a good business from it.

I think, in regulations is missing one important sentence - into Pirrelli shootout can be nominated only driver, who wasnt registered into JWRC or PCWRC in the past...

What car type are they going to use ?

I guess thay all are going to use the same car type, is it Evo IX ?
