Jaromír Tarabus + Fabia R5 + Kresta Racing in ERC 2016 officially confirmed :)
There is no calendar yet :) Anyway from the press release it's clear they want to do more than number of events counted to the championship acc. to the rules. The rules are also not yet specified. I would personally expect them to do around 8 events, maybe more.
Draft version of calendar should be released today...
About the new calendar the autosport.pt talks about the return of Rally Islas Canarias (Spain) and RAJD RZESZOWSKI (Poland) replacing Janner and Valais and said that there should be no more major changes being the 10 rallies.
And what is wrong with Valais? No money? I think it is one of TOP 3 events in ERC calendar. I think ERC needs at least one event on tarmac in mountains (You know for example San Remo, Antibes, Valais etc.) IMHO it doesn´t make sense to have very similar events Barum and Rzeszowski and second couple is Cyprus and Acropolis. I know there are differences but generally it is same type of surface. The variety of places and surfaces in Europe is much more bigger.
Problem of Valais is in communication between organisers and Eurosport and FIA. And of course it is also about money... On the other hand, organisers wants go to WRC :)
I agree. Valais is an excellent rally and was surprised by the news.
