ERC - Juniors

[pantealex]

What

Anyway, no Junior ERC for Stéphane Lefèbvre this year, he will run the JWRC instead

What a waste of money!

What!

It is never waste of money to run WRC events for future, level of 2wd in ERC is terrible!!

[PLuto]

PSA needs to survive JWRC as there is not so big interest about it.

I see that you are quite out of reality

Could you please justify your thoughts?

What makes the level of oncoming season worse in 2wd ERC than 2wd WRC?

[mousti]

I think if there are 10 entrants for JWRC they should be happy, way too expensive. Will be interesting if Lefebvre (FFSA) get some competition.. Probably Gilbert another (PSA) supported driver.

I was thinking previous years. From JWRC we have had: Loeb,Sordo,Meeke,Latvala,PG and so on, name some drivers who come up with IRC/ERC 2wd?
Last year, one of the 2wd winners of ERC was Risto Immonen and he is not even Top10 2wd drivers in Finland. And that Hungarian Honda driver who was allways Top5 in ERC, would never been Top5 in JWRC/WRC3

For oncoming nothing.

Like I told, you are absolutely our of reality.

a) You cannot compater golden era on the beginning of century, when JWRC had really good level and now. Actual WRC Academy/JWRC is piece of shit...

Looking at the level of JWRC 2014 is still too early, but for example from recent years three Academy/JWRC champions are entering Rally Sweden with WRC and I expect one of them to end up around top 5. I am strongly disagreeing that R2 era JWRC was piece of shit.

OK, not completely piece of shit, there were some good drivers. But level of complete competition was not so high...

I agree!

Only 1-3 good drivers in recent years.

Pluto: I have only been following IRC/ERC since "Hänninen time", so I maid be wrong sometimes.
