In my opinion:
1. Hänninen
2. Kopeckż (don't forget that he finished every rally in the top 5, except of course the lottery in Monte-Carlo)
3. Neuville
4. Mikkelsen
5. Andreucci (he dominated the Italian championship as never before)

Best one - Neuville
Biggest dissapointment for me is Bouffier. Apart from the Monte win, he never showed pace expected for a full works driver , with as many kilometers with the car as he has (more than anyone else I believe)

I wouldn't put Bouffier in the top 5. Kopecky should be in there (he won as many rallies as Mikkelsen this year) but maybe not 2nd. Also Rossetti deserves a mention IMO.

Sorry but to me Kopecky is the Mikko of IRC, very stable but not a killer. Just my opinion, and that is why he did not make my list.
Rossetti I agree on.

b)Having watched the Costa Smeralda between the Rally Italia loops I would say Andreucci's dominance of the Italian championship has more to do with the lack of competition (Mikklesen had retired soon after the start that day) than his outstanding ability. Rossetti was running him close despite being in the outdated Punto!
Again other than getting into the top 10 at Ypres how would Rossetti justify inclusion as one of the best of 2011 (we're talking 2011 not past accomplishments)-the much-derided Guy Wilks actually had more to recommend him, despite the crashes.
Bouffier seemed to disappear after the Ypres disqualification, wonder how well scruitineered his car was after the Monte ;-)
So my top 5
Hanninen
Tanak
Mikkelsen
Loix
Neuville
Kopecky a close 6th

Now he was even more dominating. I rate the CIR higher than the SWRC championship where you could end on the podium with SupeRally.
