    Situation is changing and Protasov is also working on registration.

    You are being so political sometimes. 😊
    Because with top result in Acropolis he could have a shot for the overall title.
    Even with not so good result in Acropolis he will gain experience for full assault next year.
    Does anybody believe that Ingram’s mentality is different?

    Why does no-one get it ?? Ingram only has limited funding and so cannot do all events. He will be just aiming for the U28 title which has fewer scoring events and carries a good prize.

    His last statement was: "The focus now is getting my health back to 100% and being ready to fight back on the next ERC U28 scoring round in Rome."

    I dont know what you are trying to dig here. There is no place for speculation - he was planning to do Acropolis Rally, despite it is not U28. But due to health problems he is forced to miss this event. Simple, no need to add more...

    He said before Canarias that IF he could beat Lukyanuk there, he would have to consider the overall Championship, not just U28.
    But we know what happened there...

    Chris and I follow each other on social media and I sometimes discuss things with him and he said nothing about planning to do Acropolis all along.

    Maybe it was a last minute decision to get more practice (especially after little seat time in Canarias) but that isnt 'planning'. If he was always going to do it from the start of the season, that is planning.

    So basically he would've done Acropolis only really after having the issue at Canarias, but then couldnt due to his health anyway. The 'plan' could not have been for more than a few days...

    My other confusion is terms of finance - after his Canarias practice crash he said, 'No regrets apart from my wallet is pretty empty !'
    So he clearly doesnt have much money to go to unnecessary events.

    Sorry, I still dont know what you are trying here. Situation with him was not easy, especially with money. But he has plans from beginning of the season, of course it should depends on the results and all other things. Not always is the best to put all plans for public soon, especially in this years, with very fast ways with sharing informations... His plan to start on Acropolis was for sure set before Azores and if he will be healthy now (also after problems on Canarias), for sure he will start in Acropolis. Everything was ready (entry form, test, accomodation, car etc), but his health condition didnt allowed it. I hope he will recover soon and will be able to return back to ERC as soon as possible.
