Slightly alarming news from the Azores.

Therally is not run ning on this island. However it could have some impact.

Any news on how ERC will handle their "Open class" when it comes to scoring points, number of rallies that count and so on?

All questions and disputes will be answered in the bar at the end of the season. I'd like to forget about this class but when I see these guys excluded from ERC proper it just brings all the unanswered questions back to the surface.

Azores just announced trophies will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. That'd be great if the entry list had more than 2 competitors - hopefully that'll be updated so things make sense (cough Sesks)!

In fairness this was in the announcement: "ERC Open will use the same points allocation as the other ERC categories with competitors counting their best six results from eight rounds."

It's already May and round 3 around the corner and there is still no information about the season final event???

I do not remember what is the location of this Romanian rally which according to rumors has a chance, but maybe the delay has something to do with war in Ukraine and situation in Moldova.

On the other hand during Azores people were talking about Cyprus and Corsica.

Maybe they can narrow it down to one of those two during this weekend in the Canary.
