ERC Calendar 2015

That cup won't be such a succes. I think it's quite unlikely that there will be 2 competitors doing all events..

No Valais? Are they being serious? And Cyprus & Greece back to back? Get rid of one of them. If they leave Valais out then they need certifying.

We just discussed with Tommeke possible reason for that and it might be the date. Valais organizers in the past insisted on their date which is in clash with Rally Catalunya. FIA doesn't want any WRC/ERC clashes.

Rallye du Valais is from 28.10.15 - 31.10.15

Spain is from 22.10 - 25.10.15

Yeah, looked like they'd resolved the date clash for next year, had assumed it was because of the clash. Can't see any good reason, but would be nice to hear some actual reasoning from either the championship or the Valais organisers.

And quite right. While they're different series, and different promoters, surely the FiA must have some say. Having events clash does neither event any good.

Hopefully, common sense will prevail - and Valais will be in....

I hope that we get an explanation!!!

Provisional: If the past few years is anything to go by about seven or eight of these events will be part of the final calendar after two or three alterations over next couple of months - and even once the season has started.

Strange that there's a TWO MONTH gap between Liepaja and Circuit of Ireland and another one between Circuit and Açores.

Valais was named as one of the rounds of the new FIA RGT Cup.

I wonder of this will change now it is no longer an ERC round?

Bloody hope not! Only event they could replace it with would be Rallye de France in (as it's also in October) but then the championship would end with two rounds in France

Dissapointed for Valais, don't think Greece and Cypres together are better than this one out, moreover one after another.

That's how it is with just 10 events in the calendar. But this is how it should be anyway.

Hope not as well, GT-Cup must be a good start for this class and events must be as good. Hopefully there will be some competition in this with several regulars.

Also the price you have to pay with the opening round being as early in the year as is possible!

But then Açores should be able to fill the gap in March, Tour de Corse should only ever be in May, then something in Septmeber and finish with Valais in October, job done
