2020 ERC News and Rumors

[PLuto]

A good idea for an article, but are those calculations correct? In the first picture the maximum number of points for Solberg is 139. But if he wins Canarias he can score 30 + 5 + 5 = 40 points. So in total he can have 89 + 40 = 129 and not 139 points.

ERC point-scoring system is explained below. It seems too difficult for journalists

Aaaa, dont tell me this. I was trying whole day today (interrupted by questions of competitors) calculate possibilities for all championships. And now I have problems to understand what I have made (and problem is not with the system of points, but with possible combinations)...

So 27 point difference right now.
That should under normal circumstances be too much, but you never know - all is possible!
Even Munster can become champion, with 33 point less than Luky before the last rally.

Lets hope for an exiting final!

So Rally Islas Canarias will be the Grand Finale of ERC 2020. We should see many battles, because, as far as I know, none of the champions is known, in any category:

The battle is on for:

European Champion:
-----------------------
Alexey Lukyanuk vs Oliver Solberg

ERC2:
-------
Tibor Erdi vs Zelindo Melegari vs Andrea Mabellini

ERC3:
-------
Ken Torn vs Josep Bassas

ERC1 Junior:
--------------
Gregoire Munster vs Oliver Solberg

ERC3 Junior:
--------------
Ken Torn vs Josep Bassas

ERC Teams:
-------------
Rallye Team Spain (Llarena and Bassas)
vs
Sainteloc Junior Team (Lukyanuk and Griebel)
vs
Estonian Autosport Junior Team (Ken Torn)

According to Dirtfish, Torn is the ERC3 Junior Champion:

Ken Torn is champion in ERC3 and ERC3 Junior. And teams championship is only between Rallye Team Spain and Sainteloc Junior Team. Both teams has nominated maximum number of drivers for Canarias - three.

Chris Ingram news tonight on ERC The Stage.

He stated he now has funding/ sponsorship in place and plans to compete in 'international rallying' in 2021.

Where he will compete will be decided by 'those who will put him in the car', presumably his team, Toksport. Sounds like it will be WRC2 or back in ERC.

He also said he has a test in a Fabia R5 in Germany next week. Then goes to Canarias to test the Clio Rally5 for the first time.

I am bit confused. After Spa Rally cancellation only 4 out of 5 events are counted for all categories? For ERC1/3 Juniors is 4, but rest has 5...
