2022 ERC News & Rumours

[WRCStan]

Martins likes the car. And idea of R4 car. With what happened before/during Fafe with this category, he was confused also...

Are you saying nobody even knew ERC Open wasn't part of ERC?

Good lord.

Edit: Maybe I am confused here, I have yet to catch up with Fafe. Did Sesks retrospectively enter ERC Open? Ewrc has him top of the championship but the official docs don't support that.

They created ERC Open: https://www.fiaerc.com/new-erc-open-...022-confirmed/

This link has suddenly died.......

But this is still on website
ERC titles up for grabs

• FIA European Championship for Drivers, Co-Drivers and Teams
• FIA ERC3 for Drivers and Co-Drivers
• FIA ERC4 for Drivers and Co-Drivers
• FIA ERC4 Junior
• ERC Open for Drivers and Co-Drivers

You can not first late in the game invite to ERC Open, and then during a rally cancel a complete category with titles, even if it is ERC and not a FIA title.

Some sort of predictability must be expected from the ERC organizers from teams and privateers if you want people to participate in your series.

Something must have happened, probably from FIA.
Investigative journalism please!

Is this true or just inferred from @PLuto saying it is a failure?

No more with subscription I am afraid!
Hopefully more next time!

There is a 25minute highlights show on the ERC app. Still no coverage of the support categories though.

The way i understood ERC open is that there is a title available, just not an FIA one.

This is on the bottom of the registration sheet for ERC Open:

REGISTRATION COSTS €2000 PER TEAM.

Well at least now I can understand why Cartier, in his own built unique car, has joined Sesks' and Potiiko's team.

Strange. They didn't even bother to translate it into English?

Good news from Austria. Simon Wagner is planning several ERC rounds with Skoda Fabia Rally2. Good luck to him, he is a good driver.

At the moment his programme includes:
