    Hayden Paddon says the ERC is the best value for money rally Championship in the world. Its half the cost of WRC2 and with similar live coverage, great events & stages, plus the Rally2 cars are the 'main show'.

    He absolutely loved doing the ERC and hopes to come back again in 2024.

    It seems rally websites still haven't picked up on the fact that Paddon is not the first non-European ERC champion. Poor, forgotten Jean-Joseph...

    In a way they are right. He was competing under the French flag.

    You can be French but not European, because France is a transcontinental country. Would you ever consider someone from Ankara or Siberia as European?They're from Asia, no matter if their countries have regions in Europe.

    I think Paddon meant this differently. This year the target was purely winning the ERC Title and that meant taking points and no risks. Next year he aims to push for rally wins rather than the Championship.

    Norbert Herczig is planning to return to ERC in 2024 after a short try at WRC2 this year.
