WRC Priority in the ITRC
Sign Now
Today the Tarmac Rally Organisers Association has said that Next year's Pirelli Tarmac championship will see production cars in the Group N category scoring equal points in the overall title race with the WRC super cars.
In other words, the outright winner of each round of Ireland's top championship, who will inevitably be driving a WRC car, will score the same points as the winner of the production category although that driver may finish in seventh or eighth overall.
The change, announced in statement from championship manager Don Wilmont, is subject to ratification from Motorsport Ireland but will undoubtedly be given the go-ahead. It follows a decision by the British championship authorities who have banned all WRC cars from their series.
The statement says: "The Tarmac Rally Organisers Association have agreed to introduce a new scoring system for the 2007 championship. It is intended to cater for two very strong groups of customers in the championship by introducing two scoring categories for next year - World Rally Cars and Production Cars - each of which will score equal points for overall championship honours.
"The new scoring system will continue to cater for the large number of existing registered WRC competitors while also providing an opportunity for the growing number of Group N registrations and emerging Super 2000 entries to challenge for overall championship honours."
We dont want to see this happen and want the WRC cars to have priority over the GP N cars who dont win the rallies.
