So do Ypres think they are more important than the whole ERC and think they can demand what the ERC should be ? What would Ypres do if the ERC dropped them, how would this be better ? Just being a round of the Belgian Championship ?

I don't know what they do think. I can only guess but it's quite clear they are not satisfied and I am certain that they are not the only ones, perhaps only the loudest.

The other rallies havent complained anything like this... and ones like the Circuit of Ireland seemed more than happy.

Such is life. Anyway it's obvious that ERC is not in a good shape and not all the unsatisfied speak loud. Don't foreget that rallies like Ypres or Barum are part of the Eurosport game since the beginning and they know how it changed through the years. There used to be times when they gave a lot less but received a lot more.

As for the Promoter, what were they supposed to do to persuade Skoda to stay ?

It's up to them to find how to attract the competitors. They clearly didn't succeed.
