    Who knows…just like IRC has profited from WRC stagnation in the mid 00’s, TER may take advantage from Eurosport current lack of interest on ERC.

    Ypres (and the other former IRC/ERC events) strategy looks like the one MC adopted during IRC years, but having in mind the limitations of the European rally market we’ll probably end having two average series instead of a great one.

    Honestly, it’d be much better to see Eurosport and TER promoter getting a deal in order to revamp ERC together.

    Taking something out of WRC in troubles meant that You actually took something (and quite alot in that time) but what do You want to take from ERC in crisis?

    I don't see TER bringing anything to Ypres, but dropping ERC will save Ypres quite a bit of money.

    Still, it's a shame for Eurosport to lose one of their biggest events.

    By what comparison is ERC in crisis? Compared to IRC heyday yes, but go and look at championship standings for ERC for the five years prior to Eurosport takeover...

    I don't want to do that as todays ERC was made of merged ERC and IRC under IRC promoter. By all means it went down gradually in last couple of years and the trend continues because now one of the most important event Ypres is leaving (and it's not alone).
