WRC - 2012 : Round 10
Wales Rally GB

In this season, the rally is not the season ender [which is the tradition in almost every round of WRC, season after season around November] but has been moved a few rounds earlier to make it a drier event, as usually it is held during the rainy days of the Welsh countryside. Now, [again] Loeb is in a very comfortable lead in the championship and it still makes the event a still to be watched round, for above stated obvious reasons..
IRC - 2012 : Round 10
Prime Yalta Rally Ukraine
Sea city of Yalta in Ukraine’s Crimea region. It is a compact rally
was newly introduced in IRC last season, where as it has been a long-term fixture in the
country’s national rally championship.
Since the Skoda top drivers will be a part of the VW WRC team, we haven't seen their entries at the event this year, which was very much expected! Entry list can be seen here, and beautifully prepared stage maps are here. The complete details of the event can be found in the Official site.
APRC - 2012 : Round 5
Rally Hokkaido
into the S2000 category cars from its traditional GroupN/R4
Mitsubishi's that used to rally for them. The change in the cars have
also bought some changes in the drivers lineup for both MRF as well as Proton Motorsports as Chris Atkinson had moved from Proton to MRF. As Atko [Atkinson] has moved to Mini WRC outfit to the top-level flavour, it brings a big change in the driver line up again. However it is funny to know that both the entry for Atko is both up at Wales Rally GB as well as in APRC Rally Hokkaido. For the question 'which one would it be?' it is most obvious that he would be at the wheel of the Mini WRC, yet still better to wait and watch! More details at the Official site.
The Championship is lead by the Chris Atkinson, followed by Alistair McRae [with a big margin of 45 points down the leader]. So, even if McRae wins the event, Atko will be in lead of the championship and he can return to the last round to claim the championship if he can still keep the numbers high. That is a very good advantage for him this time.
However, that doesn't mean that there would be little heat in the competition, as Indian driver Gaurav Gill has the speed and experience to win the event [last season, he narrowly missed out the championship behind the wheel of Evo-X from Team MRF Tyres.
All the news and reviews of the competition will be hot on our three channels, Ralli Heart - WRC, Ralli Heart - IRC & Ralli Heart - APRC. Stay tuned for more..
