Going from R2 to S2000/R5 has been the most common and proven way to step up. Many did the same and succeeded, see Sirmacis this year who got from R2 directly to three victories with R5 in ERC....

Frankly I haven't heard a lot of positives lately (let's say since some personal changes). AFAIK the support from M-Sport is better.

I do believe there is a difference between works cars and private cars (it's quite obvious and logical anyway) but there was only one works car in Barum - of Kopecký. Kreim's car was private one from...

Aha, ok, sorry for misunderstanding but I find that so ordinary that I didn't even think about that (Czech-Slovak-Austrian-Polish-German events have been many times parts of other championships of...

How is the news that Ypres is in 2017 part of British championship related to the information that Madeira was part of Belgian championship 30 years a go?

This is news and rumors thread and the...

It's not so easy with information about medical state. Unless it's authorized by the family it may be illegal to publish anything.

Eurosport gives a cheap ammo for the discussion. After half an hour there is not a single stage time on the official live timing website while the live timing works normally on the event website. No...

I already made my points to the other three points and I didn't want to repeat myself again as I know I'm often annoying with that.

Use please quotes when You answer something else than the last post. It doesn't make sense otherwise.

Do You realize that there are teams who need to travel additional thousands of kilometers to Portugal, than back and than to Belgium? You can do that but You can't expect everyone to do that. That's...

You're free to tell that to them. It's not BS, only some can cope with that in various way but not every team can afford to have a car not available for two weeks and with no chance for any major...

I don't know what they do think. I can only guess but it's quite clear they are not satisfied and I am certain that they are not the only ones, perhaps only the loudest.



Such is life. Anyway...

In every way. In their position in the championship and in the people who stay behind the event. They even decided to run mixed competitive field of ERC and national competitors and FIA agreed....

I do blame them. Loosing works teams certainly isn't any management achievement if You ask me.

Ypres organizers are in a strong position and therefore can speak their mind.

The same applies to WRC2. What is there to prove against privateers? Moreover with zero or negative publicity for 8th-10th places overall?

Hopefully Hyundai will do some serious ERC campaign and...

Still it's the ERC itself what is the most negatively affected.

I haven't been there but Polish rallies are usually very free for spectators (compared to ours by a big margin).

I'm thinking about going to Rzeszow too. I have some family history connected with...

R5 don't have lower runing cost than S2000 cars. They are cheaper to buy but not to run, especially in WRC2.

You don't seem to get the point. There were times when it was enough for You to win a world title in PWRC to have S2000 car as there were only one or two yet nobody was running to WRC. IRC had up to...

I'm quite sure that IRC used to have far bigger audience and TV space than SWRC or WRC2 (for example here in CZ the mass media coverage of WRC2 is zero). We can see literally an explosion of R5 cars...

The correct question to ask is why they are not interested. You can't just say that it's something Eurosport can't affect. It's their job to promote the series. They are the promoter. Sadly they seem...

There is no season entry list for ERC. The registrations are opened through the season and anybody can join whenever.

That's not true. In 2009-2011 which was the IRC peak there was no VW in WRC and Škoda didn't come to IRC because of VW. They came there as they saw an opportunity to make a a lot for their image...

If ERC ever wants to get to the level of former IRC it absolutely needs manufacturers. Otherwise it will stay an unrecognized regional trophy.
