There is no season entry list for ERC. The registrations are opened through the season and anybody can join whenever.
Correct, but they publish the pilots registered, in 2015 there was this list.Quote:

Would the reintroduction of an ERC Manufacturers Championship encourage the car makers to support the series more?Quote:

Portuguese 2WD champion, Marco Cid, on JERC with Peugeot 208 R2.
I can't speak Hungarian, but I think I understand correctly that Tibor Erdi is going to compete in the European Championship at the wheel of Mitsubishi Lancer. His program includes:
Canary Islands
Circuit of Ireland
Ypres
Rzeszow
Barum
then mybe Cyprus and Valais (depending on the situation).

Yes. They wanted to compete in WRC, but then realized that there's no separate category for R4/N4 cars, and went with ERC instead.Quote:

No, this will not help. It is easy, manufacturers are not interested in it now...Quote:

The correct question to ask is why they are not interested. You can't just say that it's something Eurosport can't affect. It's their job to promote the series. They are the promoter. Sadly they seem to lost the interest as well.Quote:

the fact that r5 cars are cheaper to use and have no competition in wrc2 made car manufacturers turn to a series that will have a bigger audience (tv, spectators, drivers, private teams, ...)Quote:

I'm quite sure that IRC used to have far bigger audience and TV space than SWRC or WRC2 (for example here in CZ the mass media coverage of WRC2 is zero). We can see literally an explosion of R5 cars everywhere (British and Portuguese championship as best examples) so why they can't bring more competitors in ERC? For me really the only answer is that they don't care anymore.
I think its just because wrc2 is the big championship for privateers nowadays and finally there is no unfair competition from money-drivers with rrc cars...Quote:

it would take an enourmous effort for erc to fight wrc2 notoriety, even with the poor coverage wrc2 is getting from wrc promoters
You don't seem to get the point. There were times when it was enough for You to win a world title in PWRC to have S2000 car as there were only one or two yet nobody was running to WRC. IRC had up to 30 S2000 cars on start and PWRC 1 or 2. In that time it was also world title but nobody cared as IRC was a lot better place in terms of competition, recognition, marketing etc. While it's not possible for ERC to compete with WRC for obvious reasons it is definitely possible to fight with WRC2 and to attract more competitors as WRC2 in terms of marketing is pretty much non-existent in the media. As I said they don't seem to care anymore.
because of running costs! privateers didnt have budget to do wrc2 so irc/erc was the next best thing and everyone went there... I think thats the big difference between s2000 and r5 cars...Quote:

I don't believe Skoda would be in WRC2 if VW didn't want them there for youth training, and remember without them WRC2 wouldn't be that strong in quality.
What I don't understand is why sponsors support drivers to do WRC2 when there is no publicity. Maybe they're not in it for purely commercial reasons.
R5 don't have lower runing cost than S2000 cars. They are cheaper to buy but not to run, especially in WRC2.Quote:

But they say that ERC is watched by millions! Can you believe it?Quote:

It must be typo. ERC is watched by Minions
No chance. Valais is definitely out...Quote:

They say that Eurosport channels provided 107 million viewers, yet Eurosport is a niche channel and the smaller the number of viewers, the less accurate is the "measured" TV audience.Quote:
