    My confusion was that I thought the homologation laws from 2011 mandating 1.6T was just for the WRC. But is it in fact the FIA demanding this for all of rallying. Hence no one has a choice?

    Megaidiocy ... as usual.

    S2000 is the best formula now ! I hope IRC says ok FU we keep going on, you bury your own rally championship alone

    In a couple of years or from 2011, there will be no IRC only WRC. IRC has no carmaterial except from older and older S2000 cars and that means it will die sooner or later after 2011.

    The manus has to adapt to the new regulations meaning they all in the end have cars for WRC.

    It´s not money, it´s more environmental thing...

    IRC can do whatever it wants. They can run 1.6T.

    I agree.. They can rename it to the Eurosport challange.. It will be equal publicity.. 1.6T should be allowed in any championship..

    I wouldn´t think FIA will let IRC continue in current form (a worldwide serie) as equal with WRC. Maybe as European championship (ERC) possibly...

    WTCC was started by Eurosport events so FIA won't tell anything against IRC.. It's only preasure on manufacturers..
