Basically it's same like here. The intenational championship has better driver quality but the national one has WRC, national or old cars allowed. The Italian IRC is just a cup of minor importance.

I don't count any historic events...
I wouldn't consider Italian IRC so unimportant-main ''attraction'' are quite high money incentives, drivers like Longhi, Sossela, F.Re, Corrado Fontana, Albertini, Crungola, Michelini (and many more...) were or are still competing in this series...and yes, most important-WRC, S1600, kit-car's, A8...everything is permitted...
