+1 For me 8 events would be ideal.

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? :)

It is first time that i write something in this forum, but i see that you defend an 8 event Calendar for quite some time now, i tried to find some reasoning to this but sorry i can´t find any.

Make your calendar for 2014 with 8 events ( 1 snow +4 asphalt + 3 Gravel ), and for the years afters and you will find why 8 events it not enough.....

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

---

You are actually right. You wanted 10 events. I'm sorry. I remeber we had a fierce discussion about it and I was almost sure you were supprting the 12-event calendar.

From a few months ago:

First of all, welcome to the forum! :)
As far as the reasoning is concerned, did you ask the drivers?

So why it isn´t enough? We all fans would prefer calendar with 17 rounds like in F1 in our personal fairytale world, but for driver´s needs those 8 round would be ideal...anyway it won´t happen, because people from Eurosport are businessmen first of all and they are satisfied with 2013 model and cca 12 rounds. They won´t change it.

BTW: Accepting Mirek´s calendar (or something based on it and similar) and since Mille Miglia is out we can find 9-event calendar ;)

Simple. Make a 8 round calendar with 1 snow, 4 asphalt 3 gravel.

If you have 4 major asphalt rallies, then in 2015, 2016. and on, witch rallies would be in the calendar ? The same
4 or would you drop one or two ?

That "ideal" calendar I posted one year back when we were discussing what events to keep from both IRC and ERC to just one series. Meanwhile we had couple of more discussions and it's not for the first time I suggest 8 events as best in current shape of ERC ;)

Let's try...

1. Jänner
2. Acores
3. Tour de Corse
4. Acropolis
5. Ypres
6. Estonia
7. Barum
8. Sanremo

It took me 30 seconds to make it - in purpose. I didn't want to think about all options, only about events which first come to my mind and which therefore I consider important.

I very much doubt an 8 event calendar is going to happen for next year. They have recently described next year's calendar as "ambitious"...

You are right, the calendar will have most likely 12 events again.

how about?
1. Jänner
2. Norway
3. Cyprus
4. Acores
5. Acropolis
6. Turkey
7. Ypres
8. Estonia
9. Barum
10. Tour de Corse
11. Sanremo
12. Ireland
13. Scotland

You must be completely crazy Eli ;)
