They have only 4WD cars in their team...

Pluto, you are not accurate. SRT has 4WD cars here on Azores, but they own Pugs 208 R2 (Oliver Solberg drove one at Rally Sarma).
How is that related to ERC?
Simply...They can manage cooperation with some young (probably baltic) driver who will attend ERC U27 (and maybe it is their plan) or somebody in ERC3 under SRT. Moreover they don´t need to own the R2 car necessarily. They need only somebody who will be written on paper as part of SRT team. Like the team Botka-Tlustak-Kupec. Skipping first round of the year doesn´t mean anything.
Amazing entry list! Congrats to Azores Rally organizers and Europsort for all their promotional work. Also, the U28 was a fine move to revamp the series. Well done!
It could have been even better but TER was successful in lobbying among many drivers.
Any forum members to spectate? I just decided to go :)
Someone mentioned Sylvain Michel earlier as a potential entrant but in the end he is not there.. is he still planning entries on other ERC rounds?
Also, why is Gryazin listed as Bulgarian? I thought he was Russian?
Lukys new livery( previous was better for me)

Looks good.
Happy that he has got a serious sponsor finally. Hopefully he gets a good result and convinces them to support him throughout the season.
Livery style caused by the sponsor logo, RGS...

Luky's new livery looks good.. besides the important thing is they are paying the bills.
I think he said this is just for the first two events and then he will revert to his normal livery.
Citizenship has nothing to do with what country they use on entry lists aswell as the flag on the car. It's the license of the country that have to be used. That's why Claudie Tanghe is driving with a french flag on his car, the last years. He's Belgian but driving with a french license.

Btw, Cerny's Fabia will be provided by ARVidal Racing, the same tuner that’s servicing Pedro Meireles on Portuguese championship.

Kajto now listed under "Lotos Rally Team" for those interested.
It is now present on the official website as well. It seems the "soon" has finally come :)

If I see it correctly the Portuguese champion Jose Pedro Fontes is missing.
Mess in Portuguese national rules. You have to choose only 2 international rallies to points, he choose Rally de Portugal and Vinho Madeira. His pace in gravel not enought to big boys
Dont forget to make pickems for Azores - http://www.motorsportforums.com/show...irlines-Rallye
Looks like the Turkish team had problems with the customs in Setubal harbor.
Changed sentence... but pratically is same thing. Mess anyway
No photos yet of teams arriving?
Also are any teams testing on the island this week ahead of the start?
Your suspicions are right:
