I agree with both. I also think that the ERC events that are entered in the IRC, should be apart. I do not mean to take Belgium and Czech Republic out of the ERC, but could have other rallies of their national championship. Ex: Condroz and Bohemia

Yes, this is also possibility. But I dont think that this change should bring more crews, which should be main target for everybody...

I think the most logic is to choose 8 or 10 rounds from the european countries (one each) whose teams entry the most out of their countries. If belgian, czech, polish, italian, etc are the teams who run the most abroad, there would be one round from these countries at ERC. If spanish or greek or croatian crews donīt run outside, itīs absurd to maintain rounds from these countries at ERC

I actually agree with you , but I would leave Croatia as an exception because over the last 3 years it was very well entered by ERC regulars and almost all of the drivers have a positive opinion about it

The proper European Rally Championship is called Intercontinental Rally Challenge. It has decent media coverage in Europe. You miss Argentina, Madeira, Aįores, Canarias and Cyprus, race just in Monte Carlo, Corse, Ypres, Zlin, Hungary, Sanremo and Scotland, and can still fight for the championship.

Besides, registration should be free, so crews who collected budget at midseason, or who scored a couple of good results could go on at the championship

If the registration should be free, almost everybody will register - look at situation on Miglia, where lot of local drivers enters, but start only at home. I think that actual ammount is symbolic...
