If the 2011 Monte was a WRC event, you would not have had the variety of tyres and tyre makers involved to cause the intrigue and deception tactics in the service park in the same way. You would also not have the rally follow its mid-week time table and racing multiple night stages until well after midnight. So it would not have been the same, so it was a classic IRC with enough difference, to keep it from merging.

But being an IRC event means it has even less profile amongst the wider public than it would as a WRC event. How many non-enthusiasts have heard of the IRC? Not nearly enough. And, as I said, the cars are just too dull.
