Michal Solowow confirmed that he and his Ford Fiesta S2000 will be present on Mille Miglia Rally in April, even though this event is held on the same day as Elmot Rally.

**PLuto** · 22nd Feb 12, 00:28

Yes, he will do more events in ERC this year.

I don't think that they will use Fiesta

I'm almost certain that Kołtun will drive his Fiesta in Elmot Rally.

Yes, Koltun bought the car. Michal will use another car

Comeback of Peugeot is possible? I do think that's the Fiesta for him is better but okay we'll see what he chooses he has a lot of options

Is there still a ruling that u need to do a minimum of events so that u can be in the final classification of the championship?

According to this document (http://argent.fia.com/web/fia-public.nsf/8F8AA457C91A30B7C1257995004C591F/$FILE/2012%20Regional%20Rallies%20Sporting%20Regs%20+%20 Appx_30.01.2012.pdf) you must participate in at least four events. Rally's will be devided in two groups, first 8 events and last 8 events. You must compete in at least 4 events and at least one event of each group.

It is not 8+8, but 6+6. We havent 16 ERC events, "only" 12 (this year, with FIA stupidity I cannot tell about the future).

Time it's merged with the IRC! Hopefully those negotations are still on. With the FIA it could be that this championship flies in the gutter in a few years

According to Autoklub.pl, if the car is homologated on time, Bernardo Sousa will drive Lotus Exige on Mille Miglia Rally in April. Anybody knows what with Luca Rossetti?
