    Is it really bullshit? It's the most expensive and difficult (logistics-wise) rally in the championship.

    This topic was raised some time ago here (with Cyprus in the background), and Azores Rallye was on similar level with Canarias. Ferry is mostly paid by organizers, you can also get few tickets (per team) Portugal <-> Azores and discounted hotels. Logistics? Of course you are not in team-base next day, but still this is not Japan or Kenya. Canarias? Similar situation, but you need to go to Cadiz instead of Setubal.

    Both island events are more expensive than Barum or Hungary, of course. But it's European Championship, not Central European Championship.

    I like this rally and I understand your arguments, but does it really make much sense to have only 2 ERC3 drivers competing, with only 1 at the finish line? Even the Portuguese drivers don't want to compete there.

    Due to some... Issues with the organizers and the Portuguese Federation Azores was taken out of the Portuguese Championship. As you'd might imagine with Fafe in two weeks most of the teams stood in Portugal for this rally as its way expensive just for a one off in the ERC

    Just caught up with the live coverage of the final stage, great footage and a good idea to have Sete Cidades as final stage of the rally!

    Onboard of Mikkelsen from that stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6UUayDIN-M

    That's right. It was great to see the cooperation between Eurosport and Azores Rally TV. Eurosport usually use too much helicopter footage, so it was good to see more stage side shots this time.

    Where did you found it is more expensive? In terms of budget for the team from Central Europe, it is not so big difference between Azores or Fafe for example...
