But they don't do much to make it steady and understable, do they?
I believe ERC's main problem is it is lacking a lineup of drivers fighting for it. How many regulars? How many of those are really competitive? ERC rallyes live upon the local drivers. But in order to be classified in ERC table charts they have to pay a substancial higher entrance fee than the one they would pay to enter the national or regional rally. A little bit of a contrasense, isn't it? And sometimes the cars are not elligible because they are built under national specifications which are different from one country to another.
ERC is today, more than a rally championship, a business and it is rulled as one.
