Also, in an ideal world the best European events would be in the ERC – not those who can pay the fee – but that is just a fact of modern life.
Agree but on the other hand... how do You define the best? There are things we see like the tradition, stages, entry list etc. but there are also things we don't see like the organization level, safety, communication with promoter and FIA, relation with local authorities, financial backing etc.
