Gonon back in IRC Production Cup in Italy

The new-for-2011 IRC Production Cup resumes on Rallye Sanremo later this week with Swiss driver Florian Gonon back in action and bidding for his third win in the category at the wheel of the Annie Spiers Rallye Team Subaru Impreza WRX he shares with Sandra Arlettaz.

With a 25-point margin over his closest rivals, Gonon could strengthen his grip on the inaugural IRC Production Cup title with a strong result in Sanremo. However, Italian Marco Cavigioli will have other ideas in his Ralliart Mitsubishi Lancer as he looks to make the most of the momentum generated by contesting the last two events.

Johan Heloise, from France, will pilot an Impreza for Top Run Motorsport of Italy, while Irishman Eamonn Boland and Italian Corrado Perino complete the competitive entry in their Lancers.
