I agree. Condroz will be good replace for Ypres and good event for the end of the season.

Malta, Mallorca, Iceland, Gotland, Nova Zembla... or any other Island that does not have an ERC rally at the moment??

Of course I will prefer less island events in ERC. But next year calendar will not be bad. And to say the truth, with some events leaving calendar for next year I am not unhappy and their leaving is not so big disaster...

What are you talking about? I was spectating Condroz in 2010, it was cold and rainy, but Belgian spectators took care of themselves perfectly!

The list goes on... No Mille Miglia, no Madeira, no Antibes, no Valais...

See... that's the strategy of the ERC / FIA / Eurosport / whatever idiot that runs this championship - drop all beautiful classic events and replace them with some anonymous rallies that nobody wants to see...

How about Greenland? As far as I know it depends on Denmark, that counts as Europe, so it fits the new ERC perfectly - it is far away, it is on an island, and nobody wants to see it!

8-10, also new countries (or better to say older countries which were in ERC in the past)

I am sure that is not what they want but I suppose Eurosport at least want them to break even.

Six scoring from eight events would sound like a step forward at this current time.
