I didn't said that Neuville was faster.
Hope I will haven't got to come again to explain the obvious.
Ha ha.. wrong again. This thread is in the ERC section and the discussion about how well former-ERC drivers had done in Finland.Quote:

Apology accepted.
So Seajets did continue to sponsor Magalhaes, even in Poland ! :pQuote:

And Czech Republic, and it looks like they became an ERC partner too as their logo was on everyone's windscreen.Quote:

Kajto has already done six events so will need to score more than six points on both remaining events to improve his score of 120 points.
Magalhaes only has five scores so is going to have to count one of his 2 pointers, however his strong early season means he could still be in with a shout if he has a good final two events.
Lukyanuk has only three scores so all his points will count and he will need a very strong final two events to be in contention.
Griebel only has four scores so both final events could count for him too but he would need two great results with other guys not scoring well.
Bouffier and Al-Attiyah have theoretical but almost impossible chances too.
Way I see it is it should be Kajto's with two reliable runs but Magalhaes could do it if he can make a significant improvement on his last two events or even Lukyanuk if he manages to keep it on the road at the same time as delivering his undoubted speed.
Also the situation in Junior ERC U27 is very interesting:

Yes, pretty much any of the top four could take that title. The dropped score system helps Huttunen although it means he needs to score well on both remaining rounds.Quote:

@FIAERC
OK, STOP EVERYTHING!
@ChrisIngramGB is looking for a co-driver for the remaining two rounds of the #FIAERC. You're the one? Get in touch!
This isnt going to help his chances having to get used to a new co-driver. I wonder what happened with Elliott Edmondson ?
@ChrisIngramGB 5m5 minutes ago
Delighted that Ross Whittock will join the team as my new co-driver for the ERC U27 title battle... Passion, talent and 'rally pedigree'.
Wow! That didn't take him long to find a new co-driver, did it? :)Quote:

I don't know if it is interesting for you, but Lotos have just made a new TV advert. It features Polish national football team and a short shot of Kajto. It is now shown on all the main Polish TVs in prime time:

It's not like he had long time to look for it, Rally di rome is already next week.Quote:

Interesting.. he may not take the WRC prize drive and instead may accept something else from Eurosport Events (perhaps funding for a full ERC title bid next year?)Quote:

Jeeez, before you ever complain about the quality of entry lists in ERC, have look at the entries in Shiraz International Rally 2017, the 5th round of Middle East Rally Championship...
http://www.shirazrally.ir/en/mashe1.asp?id=3009
Iran have no rally history.
So with one event to go the championship is still not over. But thanks to Kajto's second place in Rome two drivers can be crossed out of the equation. Both Bouffier and Lukyanuk lost their chances for the title. It's all between Kajetanowicz and Magalhaes now. Latvia will decide.Quote:

Saving money probably. Title is gone

Huttunen won Hyundai's shoot out and will compete in WRC2 next year. I don't know how that would impact his ERC prize if he wins the U27 title this year but presumably he would at least have to drive a Hyundai on ERC events which do not interfere with his WRC schedule.
Yes, so it's Huttunen who gets the Hyundai deal. I didn't expect it, but good luck to him!
Here's more info about it:
https://www.fiaerc.com/erc-junior-st...yundai-chance/
And here:
https://motorsport.hyundai.com/jari-...ins-hmdp-2018/
Interesting ... I wonder if Hyundai picked Huttunen hoping he will win the JERC and bring the €100k prize with him ? ;)
I don't think he will get the €100k in cash. It will be ERC paying his entry fees, tyres etc. For sure he will not be allowed to use it in WRC2.Quote:

No, I didnt mean to criticise his talent. But the prize could be a nice bonus for Hyundai...
Unless the ERC see he already has a 'factory drive' for 2018 and award the money to another driver (assuming Huttunen wins JERC) ?
It is very simple, this prize for winning in ERC Junior U27 is for starts with R5 in ERC in 2018. He cannot spent any euro of it in WRC2.
Is it possible to do a full WRC2 season and some ERC rounds as well ?
For sure, why not. You can also do a full ERC and some WRC2 rounds as well :)Quote:

It's going to be a bit of a shame if the same driver gets both the Hyundai prize drive and the JERC prize.
Nothing against Huttunen, but I hope one of the other contender's wins the JERC and gets the €100k to help their career.
If Huttunen wins JERC - he deserves it, and it'll be fair. He need experience, he's still pretty raw (according Ewrc-results he done 37 rallies, only 2 of them in R5). It's not lottery - he win, so he is better than others.Quote:

I don't even think a title and 100K will help him that much. 100K is 2 ERC events at best, with a rented car in good conditions with proper PET etc.
Who ever wins JERC this year deserves it. Many good fights.
Not saying its unfair to win both, he's a quick driver... but Huttunen already has Marcus Gronholm behind him and now the Hyundai deal. He's in line to be a future WRC driver for them too.
Many other young driver's, not just Ingram, are in need of the prize money to progress their careers. Zawada for example who struggled just to buy tyres on the last round.
Many ERC guys have already dropped out in recent years due to lack of finance. I dont want it to become just the preserve of the slow wealthy older driver.
Yes, the 100 000 E provided by Eurosport Events will fund two ERC Junior Under 28 appearances next season in a ŠKODA Fabia R5. More details here:Quote:

Good that they've been more specific about the prize, but I wonder whether this might cause problems for Huttunen if he wins, given that he is now a Hyundai driver.. or will he have to drive a Fabia once again wearing the overalls of a different manufacturer?Quote:
