2012 IRC: Rallies, teams, drivers

[noel157]

Would certainly make sense to merge IRC and ERC. The ERC hasn't really been "anything" for many years.

With a WRC recce schedule next season Mikkelsen and VW look like they are getting closer and closer to a contract.

Not really a suprise for me. But want to know more about that restrictor size will that get be a bit bigger like 31 mm or so?

I think it is currently 29mm and what Eurosport Events are saying is that they would like it to stay at that. I agree - I wouldn't like it to come to a situation where a rich but less talented driver could come along with an RRC and win events simply because his car was better.

Quite tricky when you have two sets of regulations on the go!

It's 30 mm now.

I think with 1 mm a less talented driver will not win it by that, but I think it will be more balanced. Although it's maybe because the development of the car is not 100 % yet?

Must admit that those lights look really good with the livery...
