We are loosing again a unique event in one of the two highest steps of rallying. I'll keep the Circuit of Ireland's highlights of last year like a golden treasure, as I do with WRC Rally of Ireland 2007 & 2009.
There are shadowy and dubious interests behind this decision...
Nothing against the rally but I think the Canaries are closer to Africa than to Europe.
OK most probably some will say that this rally has it's long history into the ERC but if you look at it on the map in this financial situation it's a nightmare for the smaller teams's budgets.
Who needs so expensive rallies ?
The money interests are completely destroying the rally-sport.
The new FIA ERC website should start working today.
Gran Canaria was (and I think its still) a famous Rally. I was there many times, but as I wrote in past, its not necessary to have expensive Rallies like Acores, Canaria or Madeira in ERC Calendar where Organizer hope to have many private teams from whole europe. Madeira is out, but maybe 2014 In again, so ... Ireland ... yes, maybe same expensive but not so far away and its possible to go from central europe by car and ship in 2 days. I made Manx Rally in 90ies from Austria by car in 24 hours.
Website coming soon - FIA European Rally Championship ... now online.
I've just read a Polish article, that is based on the news from Autosport, saying that M-Sport Ford Fiesta RRC in ERC is the most possible option for Kubica. However, nothing has been signed yet.
