[ERC] Acropolis Rally 2014

[dimviii]

I will not drive the rally. The sponsor were found too late to organise the entry as I would like it to be...
Next year maybe. But I will spectate and the entry list is very qualitative... Also formthe Greek Tarmac day, more than 50 entries are expected

pitty..

Just 29 crews?! In Acropolis, one of the most famous rallies in the world? Is this a joke?

Given the fact that the country is in economic free-fall, I imagine there isn't much sponsorship available for rallying in Greece. For crews or for organizers. I read that even the Vovos family got into legal trouble. This year's edition is scheduled earlier than its traditional mid-summer date, so perhaps many drivers still don't yet have sponsorship deals in place.

I think it's almost the same situation in all ERC rallies, if you exclude the locals. Here, there aren't any locals with S2000 cars. The extra costs that you have to pay in order to be eligible for ERC (tyres maybe, fuel, helmets etc...) was an obstacle for many Greek drivers. However, many Greeks will do both days. We expect around 70+ entries on day 1 totally and around 50 in day 2 totally.

There are 27 foreign crews which is quite ok in my opinion. The problem is just 2 Greek crews on the FIA list. Almost all Greeks are going to take part only in the national event.

Breen and Abbring will drive the 208 R5 at the Acropolis, according to the organisers!

I dont like this situation with ERC and national field. But this is big mistake of FIA and their "super cost-low" and "super-safety" regulations...

Whatever the reasons are (I have no idea), one thing is certain - this is idiotic and ruins this sport. Sometimes I wonder why people are still interested in rallying. FIA turned this sport into a joke.
