ERC has been based on private entries at least for the last 20 years. So it was easy to predict that this year will be the same.

i think the better solution would be to negotiate more manufacturer teams, especially now when the eurosport is ERC promotor ;)

You also have to keep in mind that 2013 is a "bridge year". Next year, with new cars there will be a bigger field of permanent starters I suggest.

What are you talking about? There are no manufacturer teams anymore.

So Renato Pita will start his 2013 ERC campaign in Corsica, and will continue on the 6 european tarmac events... ;)
He aims to run the gravel events in 2014...

Good news for us?: No DTM drive for Kubica in 2013 as Mercedes signs Juncadella - DTM news - AUTOSPORT.com

Looks like Cédric Robert would be looking for a budget to drive a 208 R2 in ERC !!! :confused:

Germain BONNEFIS - Renault Sport s’engage en Championnat d’Europe des Rallyes

Any news on possible ERC programmes for Basso and Rossetti. I strongly believe that either of these two could fight for the title with a good enough programme.
