So, the rally counts neither for CIR nor for TRT. Only IRC then?
According to RALLYLINK - Il motore di ricerca del rally, the rally is included in the TRT championship with coefficient 1.5
According to the official website of TRT, TROFEO RALLY TERRA | sito ufficiale | Gli sterrati eugubini quarto round del Trofeo Terra the rally is not included in the calendar.

And according to regulations of the rally it "only" counts for IRC.
That does not help to get a proper field together

The Rally of San Marino, will also be valid for TRT .... but almost surely, so yesterday a spokesman of the pilots, will be deserted, none of the Trophy race! Too close to San Crispino, only 5 days away between the two races ....

[DoctoNilsonDen]

It's the usual italian way of doing things (it seems to work only in football )...
It makes no sense to put 2 important gravel rallyes on 2 consecutive weekends when we have 4 in the whole year. Furthermore, the most important one doesn't have validity for Italian Championship... And TRT validity is just a farce and I won't explain in this forum 'cause it's really embarassing!

HRT motorsport and Hayden Paddon Will be not on rally of San Marino, after the drammatic acident of Targa Florio Hrt motorsport decide to stop all next rallys and programs.

Very poor. For the first time in a long time no Skoda Motorsport, no Andreucci.. Should be an easy win for Mikkelsen, curious to see how Basso will go on gravel though in the Fiesta RRC.

Worst entry list ever in IRC? Keep an eye on Laurent Reuche. Last year in Terre de Langres (French gravel) he was matching the pace of Simon Jean-Joseph, in equal cars... Also watch Germain Bonnefis, young French driver who won the 207 Volant in France last year, and is now driving the French gravel championship with 207 S2000 (supported by Peugeot), winning almost everything there is to win, very talented driver!

@RS: Easy win for Mikkelsen? Basso and Scandola are on the list as well...

[GitaraMoya]

I must say I am little bit surprised with the quality of entry list. Level in TRT is not so high in these years. I think it will be interesting event... Skoda Motorsport dont plan to do all events in IRC this year. Juho will start in same date on Bosphorus Rally (ERC), Jan is preparing for Rally Bohemia. There will be also other events where will be no Skoda Motorsport...

[palantownia]

Interesting to see what Salo can do with a Fiesta... What is the nature of the stages? With a quick search, I didn't manage to find any onboards from last year.

[glasscollector]

If I remember it's mostly smooth, hard, very twisty and narrow gravel.

[22paseabelldaps]

So, no Kristian Sohlberg...

[GitaraMoya]

No, Kristian will start on Rally Sibiu.

[22paseabelldaps]

No, Kristian will start on Rally Sibiu.

That I knew, but he was suppose to drive two events. So perhaps that's cut down to just one or some other event added up.

[GitaraMoya]

There will be other event...

I know but I think neither are as good on gravel as on asphalt. I hope to be pleasantly surprised. Andreas I think is still a better gravel driver than asphalt (on gravel I think he is faster than Juho, and it seems quite a good match for Ogier too)

Flodin could be capable of a podium here.

[rostpribru]

on gravel I think he is faster than Juho

Like JML faster than Loeb. Often faster, but not through the whole stage. This is usual. Same for Mikkelsen

On Azores it was the other way.

Finally, the rally counts for TRT: TROFEO RALLY TERRA | sito ufficiale | Da domani il Rally San Marino

[glasscollector]

In the press release Miroslav Janota (driving ERC historic there) says the two legs are completely different. First day hard, smooth gravel but second day on places extremely rough especially for historic cars. In another article Dario D'Esposito says that only four kilometers of the stages are same with last year and that most of the route comes from the past.

The battle in 2WDs could be interesting
If Citroën Italia had sent Simone Campedelli there would have had no trouble to guess the winner
