Sata Rallye Açores [ERC, PRT, ERCJ]

[PLuto]

This year it will be anniversary 50th edition of Sata Rallye Acores.

[PLuto]

But what is really pity, this year it will be without live coverage (due to date clash with Rolland Garros). On the other hand, there will be more time for preview, highlights and inside. Plus there will be bigger prize money for fastest - 50 000 euro.

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, Rolland Garros is not excuse. Everything is about money and budget. Acores organisers are only one who are able in this years to pay for live coverage. But for Eurosport is more important tennis grandslam which is running running three weeks (with huge support of sponsors) than rally which is running three days...

I'm going to be there. In 2010 I paid 250 euros for a flight, in 2015 I only paid 80 250 euros will be my budget for the rally.

This year there will be no problem with air transportation, three companies make trip to Sao Miguel - Azores - Sata, Easyjet and Ryanair at very affordable prices.

That's the main reason why I'm going. A friend of mine called me and asked me about the possibility to go, I said no because it was too expensive, after that he said "But it's only 80 euros" and immediately I said: "Ok, I'm going!!!"
