IRC calendar 2009

[wwbroe]

It seems that Rally of Mexico will be on IRC-calender in 2009
There are also rumours that RAC rally would be on it, but in it's old format, with secret special stages.

Mexico was supposed to be in this year wasnt it? Then it went back to the WRC hence Kopecky doing it in the Punto. As for an "old style" RAC on maps ...!!! There is of course the Roger Albert Clark rally in the UK in November which is for historic cars and runs thru the Yorkshire forests and Keilder but even in an old fart's dreams (yes thats me!) I cant see that happening...Having said that there was a strong suggestion that one of the Scottish clubs had the financial backing to pitch for an IRC round in the UK so you never know...

Wonder if the Peugeot teams will have enough money to go to Mexico(as the company sells cars there)

And perhaps Peugeot Mexico could hire a 207 S2000 for the occasion(for a local 206 cup driver)...???

Is there any rumour of Arctic rally (FIN) joining IRC?

It was candidate event this year but haven`t heard anything since last winter. Maybe they will pick Swedish rally instead of Arctic rally for next season.

Or maybe Poranen + gang understood that IRC gives no more value to the rally, a little same like when it was ERC. Why screw up the best rally in our Championship?

Hasn't there been an about turn on this. Seem to remember last year they were interested in getting funding but were turned down. Recently, I read that they may be able to get the funding from EventsScotland or some similar company. Sounds interesting, let's hope it could work.
Whats happening with Rally GB when it's in the year out - will it run in the IRC, or just not run?

I think main problem is that 2009 we use Pirelli control tyre here in Finland and IRC is mainly BFG-serie!

Lol, you're so funny!

How would a better entry list and more tv coverage ruin your event?

Nothing guarantee a better entry in the first place, also its the opening in our championship, you should know how much GrN drivers gets attention in IRC events, thats how. Also im not so sure about more TV coverge either, at least not here.
