Although the skoda was indeed the best car overall, others cars still had a good chance.

But what made IRC so good is that we had many privateers and one off's. You didn't have to be in a factory car to be able to fight for the win. Yes, driving a proton wouldn't give you much chance, but there were many private skoda's, fiesta's and peugeot's available.

Even in the last year we had 6 different winners. Even 8 if you count the two rallies that nobody went to.
