    If Hyundai enter as the only factory team they will do well and get some good publicity in 2017.

    I’m joking mate, and I’ve no doubts that in some extreme cases it’s a logistical adventure to be at Ypres after Açores, but reality also shows that Mr. Penasse words about not being possible to enter both events are false, as the majority of the crews that were in Açores also were at Ypres: Lukyanuk, Tlustak, Botka, Orsak, Pieniazek, Ingram, Griebel, Gryazin, Broz, Tannert, Cid, Gago and Tokee. Besides, from the other ERC regulars that were in Açores (Katjo, Sirmacis, Jeets, Costerano, Chuchala, Alonso, Rockland and Pita), most of them never planned to be at Ypres.
    Sorry, but it is really not easy. Tlustak's car was ready on Monday before race. Car of Broz was in paintshop, they collected it and arrived on very last moment, one hour before scrutineering on Thursday. Botka finished rebuild of his car on Wednesday before race. Kasperczyk finally didnt come after Azores. Some drivers like Jeets, Costenaro or Chuchala decided earlier to miss the Ypres mainly because of time issues. Of course, if there were no problems in Azores, there is chance to be in time in Ypres. But dont forget that most of the teams are privateers and it is not so easy for them to work on the cars so quickly between events...

    The calender was not done well, rally like Azores, Canarias, Ireland and Cyprus, can not stay together for other events. The case of the Azores is still the worst two rallies in the same month, and just three weeks separates them.

    No doubt it’s not easy, but it’s feasible. Anyway, as probably no team has budget to run the whole 10 events some will always be left aside. It’s great to see that Açores has managed to be among the series top events and it’s now chosen by so many ERC regulars.

    Exactly! Look at the official website of the ERC. They still haven't managed to calculate the points - two weeks after Ypres! Isn't it miserable?
