I don't blame Eurosport for the loss of Skoda. WRC2 makes no commercial sense vs. ERC.
I do blame them. Loosing works teams certainly isn't any management achievement if You ask me.Quote:

As for the Promoter, what were they supposed to do to persuade Skoda to stay ?
The Promoter could, well, actually, do their job; Promote the ERC properly! The ERC doesn't seem to be going anywhere at the moment.
Gee, anything. They lost both Skoda and Peugeot to WRC2 in one hit.Quote:
