Kris Meeke won the event! After a 4th place on this rally, Freddy Loix is now the new leader in the championship with 13 points. ;D This was a new event to the IRC and my impression was just a poor rally. The number of entrants and the amount of coverage by Eurosport says it all I guess..

I quite enjoyed the coverage on Eurosport.
Meeke was just too classy for the field. Alen tried to keep up and put it into the forest (twice).
I'm sure the fields will swell for the European rallies. It's still a developing series.

I had no idea the rally took place until I picked up Motorsport News last night and saw Meeke's 207 in full flight! Still not got into the IRC, despite loving the cars! Might have to make myself an IRC calendar like I have for the WRC so I know when it's on!
As for the WTCC, it's a farce thesedays. I don't know why BMW have bothered competeing this season! Without any reg changes to the diesels they have very little to look forward too!

Yeah was happy to Meeke´s win as now hes back in the fights for fighting for IRC championship win. He would lead the championship IF he wouldnt had ditched hes car at Monte but that is just some speculations. Just a shame what kind of a season Alen is going to have. It just been so poor but Fiat is a bit behind the Pug´s and even Skoda´s anyway.
Offtopic WTCC:
What comes to WTCC its amazing how FIA cant get things to work with their serie. In BTCC there are tight fights all over the place and no one aint complaining. Ok diesel Seats are awful anyway and YES I HATE THEM. Seats words about "we changed the nose of the car and modified the air intake so we lose about 15 horses to old car" and Ill say camoon! Ok the high air was better for Seat´s anyway but them were 3km´s faster on fastest speed trap so Im not too happy to be honest. Them are far from fair racing. Atleast Chevy´s done quite well except them just wasnt too lucky.
