2012 IRC: Rallies, teams, drivers - Page 2 - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Would certainly make sense to merge IRC and ERC. The ERC hasn't really been "anything" for many years.

With a WRC recce schedule next season Mikkelsen and VW look like they are getting closer and closer to a contract.

**seooptiman** · 10-13-2011, 06:31 PM

Not really a suprise for me. But want to know more about that restrictor size will that get be a bit bigger like 31 mm or so?

I think it is currently 29mm and what Eurosport Events are saying is that they would like it to stay at that. I agree - I wouldn't like it to come to a situation where a rich but less talented driver could come along with an RRC and win events simply because his car was better.

Quite tricky when you have two sets of regulations on the go!

**Chiquita** · 10-13-2011, 06:31 PM

It's 30 mm now.

**Xzmwskxn** · 10-13-2011, 08:42 PM

I think with 1 mm a less talented driver will not win it by that, but I think it will be more balanced. Although it's maybe because the development of the car is not 100 % yet?

Must admit that those lights look really good with the livery...

**Xzmwskxn** · 10-15-2011, 03:07 AM

I like them too, it's a bit the lights of a VW Golf

Peugeot Portugal is trying to do IRC again in 2012, With Bruno Magalhaes as a driver

**GitaraMoya** · 10-24-2011, 10:15 PM

Peugeot Sport Portugal is leaving rally from 2012 - AutoSport.CZ

Peugeot Sport Portugal is leaving rally from 2012 - AutoSport.CZ

This is very sad news, but i guess it was somehow to be expected considering the situation in Portugal. Nevertheless it is pitty that after such a long involvement in the sport Peugeot Portugal is now stopping, especially pitty for Bruno Magalhaes. I am afraid that it might not be the last team that we won't see in next year's championship.

**Xzmwskxn** · 10-24-2011, 10:30 PM

Peugeot Portugal decided to quit the race car from this era. This is a decision that we regret, for what Peugeot Portugal accounted for the national sport. Peugeot is proud to have been fought over the trademark to raise the sport of Rally to the level it deserves, and have created the conditions for the discovery of new talents of motorsport Portuguese. It was since 1996 the only brand at the official level, and without interruption, in the course of the rally in Portugal.
In 16 years of competition, the Peugeot Sport Portugal took part in 148 rallies, got 55 wins and climbed the podium 91 times. Pilots won seven titles and 6 marks in the national championship 12 times, besides being the only team to clinch the Portuguese vice champion in the European Rally Championship. The Peugeot Portugal expressed the greatest gratitude to Carlos Barros and his team, all co-pilots and pilots who were with us, the sponsors and all the fans who followed us throughout these 16 years.

There explanation..

**GitaraMoya** · 10-24-2011, 10:56 PM

PR explanation...

**Xzmwskxn** · 10-25-2011, 02:44 AM

Offcourse, I put it just in here because nobody posted it in here before me

Not a surprise anyways, it will be guessing like last year what will come to IRC next season.. I think I'll do Barum anyways though.

**Efonukmp** · 10-27-2011, 11:58 PM

Are you sure?

**ephennaCypota** · 10-28-2011, 04:33 PM

The organizers of the rally had long negotiations with the promoter. They expected in the next few days to formally sign the final contract. The money for entry fee for the competition is ok, there is support from the new head of Bulgarian federation and from Bulgarian government.
