Aha, ok, sorry for misunderstanding but I find that so ordinary that I didn't even think about that (Czech-Slovak-Austrian-Polish-German events have been many times parts of other championships of neighboring countries here).

Not only Madeira, as far as I know other ERC rounds counted for Belgian championship too.

If I am informed well, there were 2-3 events abroad where belgian crews can score points for their championship. Rally Bohemia/Skoda was one of them...

I think Valais too or was it Var..

Valais

Belgium members for sure know better, but I think there were no specific abroad events on the calendar but a general rule that allowed Belgium crews to get some extra points at ERC rallys, like Jarek mentioned.

In ‘83 Snijers (911) and Droogmans (Escort) were in a close fight for the title and surprisingly they’ve come to Portugal to attend the tough Rallye do Algarve (also an ERC Cf.2 event). Snijers hardly finished on the top 5, while Droogmans retired. Snijers eventually won the title one week later, on the Rallye du Condroz.

Los italianos de AutoSprint han pillado en pruebas al Abarth 124 R-GT. Creo que tendremos noticias sobre él pronto

I know we've spoken about the Island events before but are they really such a problem?

Is it just about logistics or do they also cost more than European WRC events?
