2021 ERC News and Rumors

[dimviii]

You’ve mentioned the tough competition from drivers like Grégoire Munster but what’s your opinion of Alexey Lukyanuk, the driver who beat you to the overall title?
“He’s Colin McRae number two! I always look at his videos and I really admire his speed, his attack and his passion. I love racing against him but it’s not easy because he’s always fast wherever he goes. He’s always crazy and fast.”

What does the future hold for you?
“The ERC is definitely part of the career plan. It’s a fantastic championship with a lot of Tarmac that I need. It’s fantastic for the build-up of my career with a lot of fantastic races. I don’t know what will happen yet but it’s not long until the New Year so we have to get ready.”

Iván Ares: "We have added two podiums in two participations, ending the season in fourth place overall, which fills us with optimism to try to carry out a European project in which I believe we can fight for good results for our brand, Hyundai"

It's in spanish, but it seems that Pepe Lopez and Borja Rosada are set to compete in ERC 2021 with their C3 R5 and Sports&You.

It will probably be revitalised when the new Rally3 cars arrive. Maybe the juniors could start racing in there

If not exclusivly, you for sure need a junior Rally4 category.
But if ERC makes ERC2 for Rally3 and N4/R4/R4 kit they need a junior category. And they need to keep ERC3 a junior class. For rally4 and 5.

then they can keep ERC1 for the grown ups.

A guy with strong links to MRF said this week he's heard that Craig Breen will continue to compete with a program on top of his p/time 2021 WRC role.

Sounds like another ERC season for MRF.

(Although today Breen himself was talking after testing the new i20 about driving it in the hills back home. So maybe he could do the Irish TRC.)

I'm quite sure the MRF project will continue. It makes no sense to stop it after one year which wasn't bad after all.

Emil Lindholm is expecting that he "works" for MRF 2021, most probably ERC level.

[Sulland]

When can we expect the 2021 rules and regulations for ERC, first and foremost carclasses, and ERC2 regs.

[PLuto]

When can we expect the 2021 rules and regulations for ERC, first and foremost carclasses, and ERC2 regs.

I hope very soon. It should be during this week, when it will be approved by FIA on WMSC.
