PS: Can we move the discussion in the 2014 MERC thread: http://www.motorsportforums.com/show...3471-MERC-2014
i know the rules i want your opinion!!
you want to have a discussion about the sand championship of nobodies within the WRC section ?
Probl€ms to Alsace round.
One good solution could be merge ERC round with WRC like 1000 lakes in the past, and put Tour de Corse again on WRC :) Then in 2016 only WRC ;)
Please stay with topic (belonging to WRC)Quote:

#WRC problem with money to make @rallyedefrance in Alsace for 2015 ... http://www.dna.fr/sports/2014/12/05/rallye-de-france-le-conseil-general-du-bas-rhin-renonce-a-son-tour …
Google translate:
After the decision of the General Council of the Upper Rhine, who announced yesterday that he "no longer wishes to engage" in the financing of the Rally France-Alsace, the Bas-Rhin announced in a press release release issued this afternoon, he also gave up financially to the 2015.
The origin of this decision, the budget decisions that allow no longer stand the test, the statement that targets the absence of compensation by the state of social security but also lower state grants to communities .dropoff window
Involved also the craze back because of the absence of Sébastien Loeb and "fervor that his presence guaranteed" in the words of the press release.
See below for the full press release CG67:
"Alsace Rally: the General Council renounce its support!
In 2010, when the organizers of the Rallye de France have expressed interest in the Alsace Region, the General Council of the Lower Rhine has made all possible assistance to the realization of this great sporting event on its territory. There was the prospect of gaining international notoriety, receive in the Bas-Rhin one of the greatest popular free events, to benefit the local economy. There were of course Sebastien Loeb and fervor that his presence guaranteed!
Each year the Rally held or exceeded its promises, thanks to the great professionalism of the organizing team.
Also, to the end of its resources, the General Council of the Lower Rhine supported this beautiful local and global celebration.
But today the budget decisions no longer allow this support. In particular, the absence of compensation by the state payroll taxes that strike the finances of all departments but also lower state grants to colelctivités.
Therefore, and against heart, Guy-Dominique KENNEL propose to his colleagues not to be partner of the Rallye de France in 2015. He hopes that the course organizers can find other sources of funding, enabling them to stay Alsace, to the delight of an audience that has always been faithful to them.
Time for a different region to hold Rallye de France then, I certainly won't miss the Alsace-region. :)
This are good news, never liked that event.
I will answer in the MERC threadQuote:
