There's a 3-way battle also in historic ERC.

Why can Latvala score more max points than Lubiak and Graham? Dropped scores?

Splitting the championship in 3 just seems like needless complications...Quote:

I think the "gravel championship" will get very few regular competitors. And late 90's car seem still too modern to me to be part of a historic championship...
You must be about as old as me as that's the way I thought until I looked back on the first historic rally I worked on!Quote:

Doesn't time fly when you're old!
I wasn't even born in 1988 :D I'm referring to the fact that up until this year, the limit for eligibility in the EHRC was around 1992/1993 and it was usually changing progressively. Now all of a sudden, a big jump up until 2000.Quote:

My apologies (you lucky b.......!)Quote:

Yeah in circuit racing historic basically means not current cars. You can see even cars from 2010s racing there.
Tbh I wouldn't mind seeing that in rallying too. There are many WRCs, S1600, S2000 cars out there with no place to race except some regional championships. Why not do something similar.
Its not as if anyone is going to build a career on winning one of the EHRC titles but its bragging rights for those with deep enough pockets to be able to mount a campaign and dont just want to do exhibition events like Rally Legend. Just worry what the level of entries will be like across the year as can see Ceredigion and Ulster suffering as per the main ERC round this year. Only saving grace is that they havent gone back to coefficients.
Don't think it's a surprise that both UK events are on Tarmac; I think the chances of an International series on Gravel in the UK is almost nil; which is sad. The various Forestry owners want far too much for their roads use, that the sums don't/ won't add up.
There are gravel/forest events in BRC, BTRDA and BHRC. Are the charges higher to use these forests for International events ?Quote:

The only way to make, say a 2½ day, International event pay would be to tag on a BHRC event for 1½ days and a BTRDA event for the other day. They already have to do this with the BRC forest events as the limited number of BRC entries can't cover the cost of the forest hire.Quote:

As per the main ERC round the events will struggle for mainland European entries anyway due to the post Brexit costs and red tape.Quote:

But then I dont suppose the organisers would want it, distracting people form the main event.
Latvala won the final round in Fafe and he is European historic rally champion. The first championship he has ever won, congrats to him.
this is really awesome! sordo, lappi, paddon, latvala, solberg. loads of cool drivers winning titles this year!Quote:

Gustavo must be in his 70s though?
Compared to "Tony" Fassina he is still young! :)

And Bob Bean retired from Historic Rallying at 84!Quote:

Nothing against age and experience, I count myself in that same category! :)
Just a little surprised that he is venturing outside of the exhibition events like Rally Legend however the more the merrier and that will certainly put the Historic in the ERC Historics!
Just turned 70. He still gets invited to do the Rallylegend in San Marino. If they can afford the catering, he can't be that bad :)Quote:
