There is also a possibility that Kubica will compete in one more ERC event - Sanremo or Valais, but nothing has been decided yet:

Robert received possibility of start on Sanremo or Valais as reward for Corse (and his not starting in second leg). But we will see how it will be after his crash + damage during rally on Rajd...
I don’t know what to say. I can’t imagine the Sibiu rally without dust and hot weather :) . In Romania three is no rally on the snow. They want to increase the prestige and popularity of the event to transform it into a snow rally and Eurosport promoter seem to be excited about this. Organizers has the support both local and national authorities. Victor Ponta , the prime minister, is a former co driver ( he compete as forlighter in July at Sibiu Rally) . Maybe the roads cover with the snow won’t be such tough.Quote:

The third winter rally it is possible chosen between Sibiu rally and rally from Poland. Jarek what do you know about this? The want to move the Poland Rally in winter or this is another event? I know the want to go in WRC.
I don't like the idea at all. In a calendar of 12 events 2 snow (winter) rallies are enough! Looks like Sibiu's date has to move anyways, BUT please keep it in the summer. I cannot imagine Sibiu without the rough roads, big dust and campers next to the stages!!! With WRC losing out his "rough event" for next year, ERC should keep it like it is. It shows the variety of the championship. My wish for next years calendar would be 2 winter (snow) events [already confirmed], 3 tarmac events, followed by 3 or 4 gravel events and concluded by 3 or 4 tarmac events...Quote:

Pucky: More snow events aren't that bad idea when You look at the bigger picture - in the winter there is no F1, Moto GP, football etc. on TV so the championship can attract more public. It can also help to bring more Nordic drivers into the series which I see as a very important point.
I agree with last Mirek´s paragraph, but why the hell don´t they choose some real winter rally in Russia, Norway, Sweden, Finland. I know there was problem with Arctic rally Lapland because of Pirelli tyres, but there is lot of great snow rallies in scandinavian area. I would personally prefer something in Norway.
Is there some interest from Norwegian side? It's not working like picking random events Ribeiro likes. There must be interest from both sides.
Using other words "money rules the world" But it is way to hell in my opinion. Few years ago there was Rally Norway in WRC. What happened to that team of organizers? Anyway it was just an example. One little bit warmer winter and you have got all 3 events Janner, Liepaja and Sibiu (or Poland) totally without snow. Maybe that winter won´t be 2013-2014 winter, but it will happen within next few years for sure.
No I have never said that. It's not only about money. It just doesn't work like every single rally in Europe wants to take part in ERC for whatever reason. You can't just point a finger and say that this rally shall be placed in the calendar.Quote:
