Dont be afraid Tasos, you will have Rally Acropolis in ERC in 2014 :D
When they have so many rallies to pick from, the calendar should not be fixed, but changing a bit every year. Maybe 8 more or less fixed, and 4 changing every year.
By doing it like this more countries can be involved, and be a part of european rallying !
I am surprised that Kurzeme is in current ERC, but I like that because it gives a chance to scandinavian drivers, and ofcourse if some hero of Latvia take part on several events.
Well San Marino isn't Italy now is it....Quote:

Two things I noticed from this video. I've never before tried to count the number of spectators on a special stage from an onboard video. If there were more than 150 people (excluding marshals) on that 17+ kms stage, I'll be damned. Only one place with more than a handful of people. Stage itself was not to blame. The other thing was how lousy Mikko called the pacenotes on the first half of the stage. Many corrections that could be rally-ending harmful on other rallies, also asking Juho things like "This was the place with gravel, wasn't it?" and not calling the finish at the end. Perhaps he was all too worried about his firstborn, whether he'd get back home in time, but it seemed as if they were running circles with one hand tied behind their backs, like a one forum alumni (?) would've put it.Quote:

Croatian local competition is rather weak and none of their crews was involved in the ERC in past few years. On the other hand both Turkey and Bulgaria have quite strong local drivers, good machinery and also Bulgarians were one of the few to regularly compete in the ERC...Quote:
