Are you saying nobody even knew ERC Open wasn't part of ERC?

Good lord.

Edit: Maybe I am confused here, I have yet to catch up with Fafe. Did Sesks retrospectively enter ERC Open? Ewrc has him top of the championship but the official docs don't support that.

This link has suddenly died.......

But this is still on website
ERC titles up for grabs

• FIA European Championship for Drivers, Co-Drivers and Teams
• FIA ERC3 for Drivers and Co-Drivers
• FIA ERC4 for Drivers and Co-Drivers
• FIA ERC4 Junior
• ERC Open for Drivers and Co-Drivers

You can not first late in the game invite to ERC Open, and then during a rally cancel a complete category with titles, even if it is ERC and not a FIA title.

Some sort of predictability must be expected from the ERC organizers from teams and privateers if you want people to participate in your series.

Something must have happened, probably from FIA.
Investigative journalism please!

Is this true or just inferred from @PLuto saying it is a failure?

There is a 25minute highlights show on the ERC app. Still no coverage of the support categories though.

The way i understood ERC open is that there is a title available, just not an FIA one.

Well at least now I can understand why Cartier, in his own built unique car, has joined Sesks' and Potiiko's team.

Crowdfunding set up for Nil Solans...

Strange. They didn't even bother to translate it into English?

Good news from Austria. Simon Wagner is planning several ERC rounds with Skoda Fabia Rally2. Good luck to him, he is a good driver.

At the moment his programme includes:
Azores Rallye
Rally Islas Canarias
Barum Czech Rally Zlín
plus up to 3 more events

Slightly alarming news from the Azores.
