The Intercontinental Rally Challenge will merge next year with the European Rally Championship.

The merger was announced during the last meeting of the World Council of Motorsport, where the FIA also confirmed that TV sports channel Eurosport, founder and promoter of the IRC, will become the promoter of the new European Rally Championship.

The Intercontinental Rally Challenge was launched in 2006, and based on the S2000 regulations, is currently dominated by reigning champion Andreas Mikkelsen (Skoda Fabia).
