    Interesting: For the Circuit of Ireland the Mini will be converted to Regional Rally Car specification to make it eligible for the Intercontinental Challenge category.

    Does that mean that Mini will also register as manufacturer? Otherwise it would still not be eligible for IRC.

    The car can compete against the IRC boys, just he can't score points or get on tv unless Mini register. On Ypres last year, Snijers(?) did the same.

    Yes, it was Snijers. He will do also Ypres this year with the Mini.

    There are talks between Eurosport and Prodrive about registration to IRC. We must wait for final answer...

    Exciting! Is there a cut off date for registration or can Dave take his time?

    I think it can be at any time.

    I hope though it is in time for Ireland so that we can see McGarrity and maybe Meeke.

    I hope it works out, for Snijers it would be great, for McGarrity it's not that important if Meeke would start with the S1.6t then it would be interesting alot for the rally coverage.

    Meeke will not compete on the Circuit thats the strong talk about,there was some talk of him doing it in McGeehans mini but more than likely that will be kept in WRC spec and Eugeene Donnelly will drive it in the Irish Tarmac Championship Rally

    No Meeke is a real shame. Would have been a good opportunity for Prodrive to have reversed the negative press (and to have promoted the RRC Mini) to support him for this one rally.
