[WRC] News & Rumours 2021

Will it be Loutraki for HQ/SP?

Not announced yet. They created some kind of Organizing Committee. But if they need to be included in 2021, probably will do it with "ready-to-use" format, so Loutraki or Lamia.

How Chris Ingram is fighting for funding to get into WRC:

If winning the ERC couldn't bring in the sponsors/money, then I'm not sure what will. Similarly to M-Sports troubles; recent winners of both WRC drivers/manufacturers titles, yet struggling to put cars on the start line of the Monte.

I can understand that you are The True Fan. I don't mind but this is a bit level of "vegan"
(an example: https://pics.me.me/anybody-wants-to-...6-62024824.png )

that Ingram's story is a bit too whining..

Sounds like ,,Money/support and paydriving is bad when other's get it.. but with me (Ingram) it would be the right choice..''

Lets be real. Chris was the less good ERC champion of last years. Even Kajto with his control pace... won rallies. You need show speed too. Lukyanuk in not so good car shows more champion pace than him.

Suninen considers WRC2 as an option.

Sports-wise it would actually be nice if he drives WRC2 in Fiesta with Solberg, Mikkelsen and likely Østberg in.

That said his results with R5 Fiesta on the few (2?) outings he did were quite underwhelming.

Will it be Loutraki for HQ/SP?

No decision yet but Loutraki stages have not been used the last years. Last ERC Acropolis rallies were in Lamia.
In my opinion, Lamia is much better than Loutraki.

The ERC has always been a road to nowhere, but M-Sport’s chronic inability to find a title sponsor is a problem singular to that team and their set up.

According to Spanish AS Borja Rozada will join Dain Sordo.

Both are a damning indictment on the sport.....
