Regarding the accident yesterday, I was talking to Murat and he told that his reason was same like Bruno - he lost concentration when he saw Jarek.

The main problem is weak local scene. ERC is a championship of which the whole quality depend strongly on local entries. That's why choosing locations which are very logistically difficult and need special preparation is wrong. WRC can afford that, ERC not. The crews naturally skip what suits them the least. Distant event for which they need different car is of course less attractive but in the past we saw that Cyprus can be a good event. The stages are not bad at all but putting it in todays ERC which is already full of distant events was simply a mistake from the promoter.
Moreover the promoter shall look at the the origin of ERC competitors and support the countries from which the locals want to take part in it. When had ERC/IRC any regular competitor from Greece or Cyprus? Then why to go there if the local scene is not interested and moreover is prety weak itself? Why not to prefer traditional rally countries where the sport has a massive public support and from where the drivers often abroad?
Again we can take Barum. I would say that for most of the foreigners it's not less specific event than Cyprus and the attrition is very high as well. But it's among the most popular rallies on European scene because it has good location and is supported by strong local rally scene including one manufacturer.Last edited by Mirek; 18th June 2017 at 13:08.

Better change into "I dont want to watch those rallies"
Rally Cyprus is one of the most sceneric events and also one of the most spectacular to watch. Be shocked, but I would prefer it to ANY other ERC round this year without a doubt from a spectator point of view.
Back from a great Goldenstage and hopefully next year we have again a Rally Cyprus in June.

Congrats to Al-Attiyah.
By the way-when was last time that somebody won rally with more than six minutes??
I am from Gran Canaria. I am absolutely convinced that there will be no problem with the rally.
