[ERC] Barum Czech Rally Zlín 2014 (29.-31.8. 2014)

[polo10]

The same in Rally Madeira and it is not ERC but ERC cup, only portuguese drivers and they must used FIA tyres...completly stupid

[PLuto]

People at FIA still things that they are doing things correctly. Because only me and some other czech people are telling them that it is mistake. But people from other countries/federations/organisers/drivers are silent...

Have I understood the autosport.cz article right, that Barum Rally can lose its ERC status in 2015 ? If this is correct, who has such a stupid idea. Barum rally is together with Ypres the best rally in ERC. It would be better to through out one or more of the rallies on the islands (but not Tour de Corse).
By the way, I think the article also says that Jänner Rallye is not part of the Czech championship 2015

[Mirek]

Yes, You understand the article right. Eurosport wants more money for new agreement (2015+2016).

And yes, Jänner shall be out of Czech championship but that doesn't mean much because the number of Czech crews there will hardly change.

[RS]

It would be a big mistake to lose Barum from ERC, but I trust they will come to an agreement.

Skoda wouldn't like to lose it for a start..

If we lose Barum to Bohemia, ok I can understand. But if we lose definitively a rally in Czech, that's really bad

Jarek Z will be delighted.

I decided no to comment all the idiocy that has been happening in the ERC and rallysport in general in recent months/years. I noticed that whenever I say something logic against those idiotic ideas, people see it as complaining or whining. So I keep my mouth closed now, but I'm sure you all know what I think about dropping Barum from ERC

And now something more positive - one of the first received entries comes from Neil Simpson - http://www.czechrally.com/en/25773n-...er-barum-rally

Some good news regarding historics.

There will be new larger service park for historics directly at the city stage and rally HQ (even closer than it was till now). It's called Rally village. The number of crews was risen to 60. Organizers confirmed an entry of Paul Chieusse with Renault 5 Maxi Turbo and Albano Frassinetti with ex-Delecour Ford Escort RS Cosworth.
