7 Standardising time cards.
8 Road books and time cards to correspond.
9 Quality of stages, length of straights, artificial chicanes etc.
10 Implementation of rules and regulations by event organisers.
11 The possibilities of generating revenue from spectators on events in support of local charities.

The IRCA is your association and best voiced in Dawson Street (Motorsport Ireland) and if we do not have your views and support, then we will not have an effective influence on the decision making process.

Decisions on a number of these issues will soon be taken by the Rallies Committee of Motorsport Ireland so we must respond positively as soon as possible.

The long-term future of our sport - if there is one - is in your hands, so please make a very special effort to attend.
