Well if they are driving Mitsubishis (which I guess most of them are?) then they would get the coverage if they performed well enough. But that is a pretty hard task against S2000 cars these days... and provided that any IRC competition didn't discourage any regulars from entering then it should only add to the entry list?
It's only speculation anyway..

Dont confuse IRC and IRC Supporter Event. IRC Supporter Event can be each event, which will pay for it... More than 20 events wants to be in IRC for next year and Arctic Rally wants to be there...
And Arctic Lapland Rally NEVER been real ERC event (I mean ERC in new days or ERC event with coeff. 20 in previous years), it was only European Cup (or in past ERC with lower coefficient), which wasnt important for anybody.

And re: better coverage, I said more. I don't know how the quality of the tv coverage of the Finnish championship is over there, although one would presume it is pretty good.

Tomi: You're meesing it. What is wrong on promoting registred manufacturers only? The fact commercial IRC doesn't show Subarus is problem of Subaru only. Why Subaru don't want their customers to be shown on IRC coverage?
Anyway, do they show non-PWRC (JWRC) drivers on TV when broadcasting official PWRC (JWRC)? No. And that is totaly same. For "registration" in IRC You need just registred car, no other needs. Mitsubishi drivers have enough place on TV if they are good enough. Andreucci, Cols, Kresta, Pech and others last year or Hanninen this year in Portugal were on Eurosport like any other IRC contender.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Take it the same way as JWRC or PWRC. If You don't register, You don't exist for official coverage. In IRC You don't need to register (and to do 6 events in the season under a possible penalty if not) but You must have registred car.
And from my point of view IRC is more friendly to privaters in this case becausef if You are a privateer and have registred car, You needn't do do anything alse than to be fast enough to get on TV. No extra money, no need to do another events.
Why Subaru refuses to register is another question and I don't know the answer.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump
Wet conditions. Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
