Re: [ERC] 31. Int. Jänner Rallye 2014 (03.-05.01.2014):
Two more weeks till entries close.
According to Autosport.cz following entries are talked about:
Baumschlager, Tarabus, Saibel, Tlust´ak, Orsak on Skoda S2000
Valousek, Grössing on Fiesta R5
Bouffier on Peugeot S2000
Harrach, Gassner sen. and jun. on Evo
Not sure: Kopecky
No talks about Lappi.
I´d hope for more "ERC"-drivers entries, otherwise I suppose it´s the last Jänner Rallye in ERC.
Don´t think Peugeot works team will start - suppose they will start season either in Latvia with their old cars or finally at Acropolis with R5.
Aigner probably isn´t starting according to Manfred Stohl.

No Skoda Motorsport this year - they start in Latvia.
Bad news for Jänner Rallye!

Gryazin confirmed his start few weeks ago.

Yes, event is too early for them and they prefer christmas holidays instead of testing...
Re: [ERC] 31. Int. Janner Rallye 2014 (03.-05.01.2014):
Well Jänner 2014 could really develop a disaster, for organizers - and fans. Who wants to pay 40 Euros for a rally pass just to watch the Austrian drivers and just the one or other Czech driver who isn´t boycotting Jänner 2014 because of it´s date, and hardly any international guests, and above all no works Team like Peugot or Skoda participating.
Now with Latvia at an earlier date and Sibiu as snow rallies I see ERC 2015 with only these two rallies remaining as winter rallies, I´d even bet on this.
Rally organizers must be desperate to announce Blomqvist as a safety car driver and having nothing else to tell to the press ... Even ERC official Homepage seems to have blocked Jänner from the news.
As a local boy i find it very sorry, but Jänner can´t move the date, the organizers are just hobbyists, who are doing the Rally in their Christmas holidays. That was already mentioned as critical for the continued existence of Jänner as an international rally by several observers in the last years, and it looks like this is breaking this Rally.
