Yesss ... :-)
Anyway I think Valousek came to Waldviertel Rallye due to that European Cup? He had the chance there to be Overall Champion, also Orsak made entry but told Monday before the race not to come. For us its a pleasure if some Czech drivers enter in Austrian Rally, and if there are some Top drivers ... I speak only about Central cup, South and East are indeed useless with 4 races.
Yes, I know a lot about it. But we must wait till it will be approved. European Cup will survive, but with a little different system oldschool system...Quote:

Jarek, you know me, I am very strange and made many many statistics of ERC in 80ies and 90ies :-) Without Internet, all with contacts to Organizer. I met a lot of people at that time. And ofcourse visits at 20 ERC races each year in that period ... you remember there were 50+ events with different coeff ... so I still like the ERC also with his cups. I agree the useless, but if Waldviertel Rallye with Coef 5 this year gets some entries with S2000 from foreign countries, its welcome! At least Valousek lost the Championship as he finished second overall, with a win he could overtake Kopecky in Central cup.
Quote from the calendar press release:
"In parallel, Eurosport Events is working hard developing a new ERC brand identity and website. We expect the level of TV exposure to be even higher than the outstanding coverage delivered for the IRC. We will keep pushing our pioneering live broadcasts."
Good news, and the calendar sounds pretty decent too now with the inclusion of Sanremo and Valais.
Little bit disappointed about no manufacturers championship though.
The most ridiculous of these cups is when a driver wins without knowing. It happened once with Rui Madeira in 2002. He only became aware after a while.
It happened more often. I guess also with Kris Meeke two years back or this time with Jan Kopecký. I doubt he was ever thinking about it. It's just a result of coincidences and too many cup rounds being part of Czech championship.
Thats right! I remember when 9 years ago a Driver got an invitation to FIA Prize giving, he didnt know why ... :-)Quote:
