What would you choose, the glory of IRC or the challenge of PWRC ?

Very good points sal

May I add another question to the thread? Do you think the status of PWRC may increase with possible intrest of S2000?

Because that's what I hope. The i´deal situation would be if PWRC/S2000 act like GP2 in F1.

No, precisely for the reason that I stated in the post above you. The cars are not build to equal regulations, so it is too hard to compare. BTW, the JWRC was supposed to be the GP2 of WRC.

If your goal is to get to WRC then PWRC without a doupt, you get to know WRC events and you are far more ready to enter the big boys league compared to IRC.

I would say what ever if it is driven in WRC events, you have much more use of it, pacenotes, can make contacts to teams, why PWRC, simply because s2000 is a new class, why would a driver with small budget want to pay the developing of making the car reliable? I think better to drive well prepaired N-Group car and finish events.

IRC. In PWRC there are equalizer rules for your S2000 car.

It's not for S2000 cars only, the rule works both ways, covers both S2000 and N-group cars.

Good question. very tough choice, probably a toss of a coin. If only for the novelty of a new championship and new events then maybe the IRC. But as was said before, Martin Rowe and Niall McShea both won the PWRC and look what happened, both disappeared without trace and couldn't even defend their crowns.Maybe in the not too distant future S2000 cars will be proven to be a lot better than PWRCars, who knows?

There is no such a thing as PWRC car, both S2000 and N-group cars are eligible to be used in a serie called PWRC.

Yes of course, what I should have said was that maybe that S2000 cars might become the Premier class, replacing WRCars. Only because there are more manufacturers producing S2000 cars than WRCars. To be honest I just want a WRC with lots of manufacturers taking part, that doesn't look likely at the moment with WRCars.

Yes but is it really? It used to be but not anymore.

It was a joke from beginning and still is the same, like Hänninen said after 1st day in rally GB, "I did have 2 flats, even i did not hit anything" that should explaine quite alot.

Very hard question. But everything depends about future plans. If the driver would like to be a competitor in WRC, it is better to start in PCWRC. But if his ambitions are only to start in european rallies, national rallies or only to compete for fun, it is better to start in IRC.
