Rajd Polski (Rally Poland) will be in second part of September 2011. Last couple of years it was held in June.

I am still talking to people at FIA - delete from ERC events, which drivers arent interested in competing in this championship. Why there is Greece, Portugal or Spain, their drivers in last years werent interested to race in ERC (only Magalhaes one year)...

You cannot have a named "European" championship with only a couple of countries which have representatives ( I,CZ,PL). Will be more like area cup.
It needs some incentives or other formulas (ie no registrations etc), to attract competitors that can participate in near countries.

Yes, I agree with you. But I want to promote and expand ERC. It is difficult to find events to delete from calendar, I am trying to find any "notice" how and why to do it. Madeira is the most expensive event in ERC for teams, Turkey is too far and for European team sometimes problems with transportation, Spain is nice events, but teams are not interested to be there, similar it is with Greece, but it is gravel event, which is one advantage above other events...

If Greece will be on tarmac, I think there will be less competitors, thatn this or last year on gravel...
M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
