Probably no ERC2 category in 2022

[Andre Oliveira]

Still no clear about tyres.

*To score ERC points, drivers must use tyres supplied by a manufacturer registered with the FIA and WRC Promoter under a new system from 2022.

Probably no ERC2 category in 2022

Ahh so they cut GrN/ Oreca Kit already this year. Thought it would take another year.

Byt then they will have 3 car classes, same as WRC. But they will have Rally4 and a Rally5 cup by TokSport, or will Rally5 be its own class in ERC?

[Tom K]

Yes ERC2 is axed. During one of the very first meeting between WRC Promoter and competitiors they told Rally2-Kit guys that there will be something for them but apparently it's not.

ERC in general
ERC3 - for Rally3 cars
ERC4 - for Rally4 and Rally5 cars jointed and ERC4 Junior is main junior category in ERC again

plus
RGT Cup
Clio Trophy by Toksport with Clios Rally5.

[PLuto]

There will be trophies:

ERC (all cars)
ERC Team (all teams)
ERC3 (Rally3)
ERC4 (Rally4+Rally5)
ERC4 Junior (Rally4+Rally5)
Clio Trophy by Toksport (Clio Rally5 run by Toksport)

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.
