About ERC I don't know.
But the point from spotting the talents wasn't that. I rather pointing the future, not past.Another Flying Finn

I don't see why IRC drivers should be future world champions? IMO it's allready very cool to be a tense series by itself. Let WRC do its thing and let IRC do it. It is not supposed to be that way, it's of course nice if it could bring WRC champions.
So don't say, "IRC sucks, because it doesn't bring you future WRC champs".
I think it is great we see 'older' WRC drivers battling young rookie drivers, if it is a nice battle in rally's, I want it all!Post your own splits on the net: find RallyStopwatch on the Google Play Store.

Or
Is it better to drive IRC, supposely cheaper machinery, easier entry list and try to shine there and maybe get noticed ??
I honestly don't know what is the straightest way to heaven but when we come to the original question, I don't think IRC is ladies stuff until there are Natalie Barrett driving against Michele Mouton. It's great idea to improve rallying to greater audience and with greater chance to get your fifteen seconds of fame.Another Flying Finn

It also gives a chance to Manufacturers to dip their toe into Rallying, to see whether they like it or not without spending a fortune on the WRC. After all, we still don't know for sure what the future WRCars are going to be, the F1A like to change their minds.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

I think that no matter the stages JRC is good for nothing. No competition, no need to grow. Realy don't think it is usefull these days (except to win it and get the Citroën junior prize - some WRC runs)...
But I think that big minus for IRC is too much tarmac rallys. And that also make it different to PCWRC. Don't think that gravel runners from PCWRC would want to compete in tarmac IRC and vice versa. By the way the results in PCWRC are good for nothing, if You want to go higher, You must pay and You don't need PCWRC to go into WRC if You have budget. The good thing is some knowledge of stages but with new rotation system? Who knows where they will compete next time...Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
