2022 ERC News & Rumours

[PLuto]

Wait... You mean Audi now AREN'T back in rallying?! Someone better tell the Facebookers...

They are in rallying. They can compete in general classification

Regarding R4 cars with Oreca Kit, it was intention of FIA to kill this class (and whole ERC2) in ERC from 2022, it was announced to all competitors before season 2021 (and they had informations also months before). Despite for whole season there were attempts to change this decision. We will see how it will be, but maybe there is a chance there will be new trophy for ex-ERC2 cars this year.

For me the end of ERC2 as it was is a correct decision. Like it or not ERC2 never ever had a level worth of ERC champion title. Some cup why not but a championship for three gentlemen drivers? No.

maybe we will see the 3 gentlemen back in a Rally3 car, being quicker than ever!
In my opinion many gentlemen drivers in Rally2 cars would be better suited in a Rally3 car.

My opinion is completely different. ERC2 has potential, especially with R4 cars (their not so big and especially early success is different story), but mixture of old group N cars, R4 and RGT is not bad. And I think season 2021 was not bad in terms of this class...

I would also leave at least Rally2-Kit Cup. There were Suzuki Iberica + various drivers + interesting stories, like Victor Cartier with his own Yaris. Erdi was also trying Rally2-Kit Fabia during Islas Canarias so maybe he was thinking about switching.

It was the only so so ERC2 season in the past ten years and even then it was not worthy of European champion title because while it had considerable number of entrants the competition level was still very low. See Feofanov was vice-champion, nothing against him but that would not be possible in any other international series and most likely not even in any other respected national one.

As I said, cup yes, championship no.

I dont think that level was lower than for example FIA RGT Cup (which is in fact world championship with proper title), African Rally Championship,Middle East or even ERT...
