Folks, if there was a new modified championship set up, taking in five Irish Tarmac Rallies, and using non Irish championship rounds such as West Cork, Wexford, ALMC etc...and catering for classes 9-15 (15 covers 6R4s, Cossies and other cars out of homologation), would there be much interest from Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales? It would help boost the profile of those events and allow British and Irish drivers to compete on some of the best tarmac roads in Ireland. With the 6R4 to be banned in the UK after 2009 it would be an opportunity to see these cars back on Irish tar. Bearing in mind that the internationals such as Cork, Galway, Donegal and Killarney are allowing more and more homologated machinery at the expense of the modified driver, would it be the way to go? The events such as West Cork could still attract some top drivers is 4wd cars but the modified men can still race in the same rally as these top guys and not excluded from the overall results. What are your thoughts on this?
