So 37 crews ?

Of course island events are to blame.....

Off course WRC2 is much better than the ERC...... it is the world championship. It is better to be fouth or fifth in the WRC2 than to be first in the ERC

More than a year after my posting it is clear who was right about the current ERC

Impossible to make it work. In the late 80's there were very few tourists in the Azores. Only in the last 20 year things started to change. Only in 2015 Ryanair and Easyjet started flying here. I...

Amazing photo

The footage from today only shows how stupid Eurosport is. Happy that tennis was suspendend because of the rain....

Again, you think that everything is OK. You think that having less top drivers is only bad for the Azores rally but is ok for the championship... No this is awful and that's why many organizations...

Again, you think that everything is OK.

Do you really understand what is 1 million Euros for a region of 240.000 people ? Can you imagine the czech government giving 50 millions Euros to Eurosport...

More teams= Bigger ferry + expenses in Hotels and flights

It is ridiculous that you think that is better to have quantity over quality. Amazing. Why not ban every event that has an entry limit ?...

Why Ypres thread has more replies than SATA Rally thread ? Because of the entry list...

How much buzz the rally is getting ? None

Do you really think that if Skoda or Solberg was there it...

???

Publicity ? Live TV ?

Why do you think they didn´t authorized the "Volcano stage" after knowing that no live tv was scheduled for this year event ?

The organizers want big names. They want publicity. If they don´t get it the government will not give money. Do you think they liked this date ?

No, they don´t like to have many foreign drivers....

Wrong...

What i see is that the majority of drivers only do 1 event. Look at my home rally, the Azores...

This is the year that i see less interest in this rallye by the locals... No one really...

Skoda out of ERC 2015 ? Going to WRC2 ?

It says a lot... Thanks FIA for killing ERC and Eurosport for being so stupid about the change to ERC...

I am not surprised abour rumours that...

Rolland Garros is an excuse. Jean Pierre Nicolas said that no event this year will have live tv. As i expected Eurosport is losing interest in this championship.

No live TV from the Azores in 2015. Enough said about this crap championship.

One simple example..

Last year Rally Liepāja topic had +400 posts. 2015 Rally Liepāja topic only has 280... That's a big drop. Maybe less people on the forum ? No interest in this rally ? Maybe...

Facts ?

The facts are simple...

Bernardo Sousa sponsors are portuguese. What he said was simple... He gets more covereage from portuguese press and media competing in WRC than in the ERC... The...

The promotion doesn´t mean nothing. Bernando Sousa said it well... He prefers to do the WRC2 because it is better for his local sponsors. WRC is far more stronger than ERC in main european countries...

Look at the IRC a couple years back and now.....

Do you really think that FIA wants the ERC to compete with WRC2 ?

Abbring and Skoda all to the WRC says a lot

ERC will be seen always as a...

As i said before ending IRC was a mistake....Now ERC is almost a Junior championship with mediocre drivers because FIA wants the best drivers to be in the top categorie (WRC). And then we have this...

ERC is now bullshit....

Now it is easier to get to the rally of the Azores

Easyjet will fly to Ponta Delgada from Lisbon
Ryanair will fly to Ponta Delgada from Lisbon, Porto and London

July ? Not enough Hotel capacity....and if Ryanair & Easyjet start flying from April it would be even worst...March is very likely. Low season
