It will be good if there is close competition between the young guns, but that still doesn't mean losing Kopecky makes it better.
It may be more exciting though if there are more guys on a similar level fighting.
This year it was Kopecky, then Bouffier close on some events, then Breen, then.......
I think Lappi/Breen/Abbring/Wiegand could be on a similar level and at the moment I would put them in that order. I think with Skoda Motorsport's support and driving in a series like ERC Lappi could improve a lot this coming year. Skoda will give him whatever programme is necessary to secure the title, providing he doesn't balls it up.
The only question is how much faster the R5 cars will be than the S2000.
Still hoping to see a decent ERC programme for some "old" guys this year, like Bouffier or Basso.

I agree. Drivers like Bouffier, Basso and Rossetti would add some spice to the ERC.
Re: 2014 News and Results
A few experienced guys will be there, either those you mention, or locals, but they wont do the whole Championship.
So the young drivers that are all doing the full Championship will be engaged in the battle for the title, which WILL be more exciting than one dominant old guy doing so, a la 2013.
Nice way to leave the series for Kopecky:

"The riverside promotion was organized by Eurosport, one of the main sponsors of the ERC, in which Kopecký and Dresler took six victories, one second place and one third place in the eight events they took part in. With 287 points, Kopecký had almost double the tally of the second-placed driver..."
Nothing left to prove in Europe. :stareup:

Re: 2014 News and Results
dont like it.Previous green was metalic,now its not metalic.
Re: 2014 News and Results
I don't like it too. It's way bellow usual Škoda level (since 2004 Fabia WRC). I hope it's not final...
Re: 2014 News and Results
I like. Simple and beautifull.

Looks like Kajetanowicz will fight for ERC title in Fiesta R5. Unfortunatley no info in how many rallies he will take part.
Sure is only that his first event will be Janner Rallye.
