One thing I find curious about internet forums is that people who allegedly hate something so much spend a lot of time on forums about said subject.

Maybe it's a bit like homophobia, the ones that protest too much are secretly a bit interested...

Thanks for your comment Slowson! This is exactly what I mean. I have never thought about it this way, but you are right - this IRC way of marketing is like spam indeed. When the series existed, I always had the impression, that they were trying to ram it down my throat!

IRC ???? Boring ???? :confused:

representatives from Eursport events visited Estonia during the last week. They are interested in including Rally Estonia into the ERC calendar from 2014 already. This trip was also important to convince some national funding agencies (Enterprise Estonia and Ministry of Culture) to support the event. As far as I can understand then there is a will from ERC and everything depends on the national politicians and some additional funding.

Great! This is very nice news! I really hope that Rally Estonia will become a part of ERC.

Only doubt is money, or how much they are willing / able pay for it. Hope it does not fall to that...

Rally Estonia will be in ERC 2014, instead of San Marino :-)

Great news if true, but we need to get the funding and knowing our current economic climate, it will not be an easy task.

This is all that matters to the ERC.
Money is all that matters to Eurosport events

To be fair, if I was spending as much as he is this season, I'd expect my PR team to be flat out with press releases too

Maybe You don't believe in that but there are events in ERC which pay way less than the new ones. Those pay a lot because there is much more of them than free spaces in calendar. High demand always creates high prices. In everything. It just shows Eurosport is doing things good enough to attract organizers. Nobody force them to choose ERC. If Eurosport product was not good there would not be loads of organizers willing to pay crazy money to join.
