Huidige rally: Rally Ireland
The final newcomer to this year's FIA World Rally Championship calendar is Rally Ireland. The all-tarmac rally is the penultimate round of the championship, which means the outcome may very well be decided on the Irish asphalt. It is paired with the season's final round, Wales Rally GB.
The event will feature an amazing cross-border initiative, which will see competitors driving back and forth between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Support and co-operation from the United Kingdom as well as the Republic of Ireland has made this venture possible, a unique feature which adds to the rally's charm.
It will take place in November rather than March when the candidate round was held, which means cooler weather and rain are expected. Many competitors will struggle initially with the conditions, and it may take an entire weekend of rallying before a driver feels completely comfortable on the wet Irish roads.
Ireland's inclusion into the WRC has been met only by praise. It will prove a tough challenge for drivers as many of the WRC field have not yet driven on the rally's bumpy and narrow roads. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous, and though it may have a difficult time replacing New Zealand as the most scenic round of the WRC, Ireland will most certainly be a strong second.

HIER (DUVAL START NIET!)
2.1) Het kampioenschap is in zijn definitieve plooien aan het vallen. Valt in Ierland de beslissing over het kampioenschap ? (Gronholm staat momenteel 4 punten voor op Loeb. Indien Loeb hier uitvalt, of het erg slecht doet en Gronholm 7 punten meer heeft dan hem, is Gronholm kampioen. De vraag is dus: haalt Gronholm hier 7 of meer punten meer dan Loeb, waardoor Gronholm WK kampioen is?)
1) Ja (Gronholm is kampioen)
2) Nee (de strijd wordt beslist in Wales of Loeb is kampioen)
2.2) Er staan veel lokale rijders aan de start (Kris Meeke, Guy Wilks,...). Haalt één van die rijders de top 5? (Lokale rijders zijn rijders met Britse of Ierse nationaliteit).
1) Ja
2) Nee
