Re: 2013 ERC News and Results
I hate dropped scores in motorsport - it only makes things more complicated for the fans.
I personally would like to see a shoot-out system at the end of the season. It may seem a bit of a cheap gimmick but if the top three had their points equalised for the final two events plus double points on offer at the season finale (for all competitors, not just the top three) then you'd be guaranteed an end of season title win

That was used for two seasons in IRC and frankly I didn't like it (and not because Kopecký lost 2011 title because of double points from Cyprus). Rallying is a sport where endurance, reliability and consistency always played a crucial role. Such system just throws that away and makes the sport something closer to X-games and other similar show stuff.

No more ERC for Kopecky this year, his last event of the season will be next weekend in the Czech Republic. Another reason to reduce the calendar...
I hope Sanremo and Valais will still get decent entries as they are very nice events but might suffer from being at the end of the season.
Re: 2013 ERC News and Results
What a shame, i would like see him on Sanremo fighting with Italian drivers

Acropolis to join the ERC? Would love to see some live coverage of that if it does!

Re: 2013 ERC News and Results
When Acropolis is out of WRC this looks like the best other option - ERC needs high profile gravel event and Acropolis needs to continue on the international level. It could be a kind of good test as well - Monte Carlo proved itself not to be dependent on WRC trademark and Acropolis can prove the same. If it succeeds the ticket back to WRC is sure...

What? Is it the Mirek that I know? Or did someone hack his account? Only a few months ago you said that 12 events is ideal and didn't want to hear my arguments. What happened? Who turned you to the right path? :)

As I can't find the 'like' button on the new format forum I second your view ;)

You must have mistaken me for someone else. I have never defended 12 events.
