    Also one of the problems is not the cost itself, but for some of these events the teams have their cars/trucks away for 3 weeks or more, so besides the rally weekend, it's another 2 weekends that the team can't rent their cars, for example.

    I did some research and it seems its more less equal as all are island-events, but the most expensive is Azores Rallye. Of course it also depends what is the condition of the car after Cyprus

    Cyprus was always the worst rally when it comes to the entry list. ERC consists of mostly private drivers and most of them don't want to waste their expensive cars on rough rocks and loose sand. Leave survival rallies for the World Championship.

    Do you find it exciting:

    It has been working excelent since IRC. IRC/ERC became the ladder to the WRC by natural way and it was its biggest strength. Prior to that when ERC drivers didn't fight for their chance to be in the WRC it was a weak and boring championship for gentleman drivers.

    Not very often but they do appear in ERC events from time to time.

    Rough events are expensive and don't attract privateers. The past decade has shown that rough events are not a choice for privateer-oriented championship.
