Eleventh round of the IRC season 2012 is here and ready to thrill both the rally fans & teams. BUT!! The championship top teams are missing from the action as they have decided to stay put to their couches for their own reasons. Despite this, the competition is pretty healthy with 45 cars to take the start for Leg1. It is also understandable as the manufacturer championship is already decided, with Skoda bagging this season too, and its drivers Andreas Mikkelsen well into the claim of the driver's championship too.

But there is no less attack as there is one RRC class Fiesta RRC driven by PROTASOV Yuriy, by 77 Rally Team  and few more S2000 cars [with only one Skoda car, the Fabia S2000].
