Some RRC can be rebuild to S2000?

What about Vaclav Pech´s car at for instance Barum Rally? His Mini is a RRC, isn´t it?

[mousti]

Well he's screwed..

I think it would be mandatory to be registed on the championship for scoring points in 2015.
If the S2000 1.6 T (RRC) will be banned next season, could be only on ERC and not at national level. I don't see Vaclav Pech to subscribe in the championship when it should only contest Barum.

Could be like some years ago when it was allowed in IRC but not in ERC, Snijers got in Ypres a shitty number then..

[PLuto]

Does this mean they are not able to score points in ERC or does this mean, they may not start a ERC rally?

They may not start an ERC rally (in ERC field).

[PLuto]

Seems counter productive; what about the people who have RRC cars who wanted to enter? Makes no sense. Perfectly good cars not allowed?

They can do... ...nothing.

[PLuto]

And only on mountain rallies they maybe have slight advantage? But R5's with their turbo must be almost on the same speed I think. But yeah FIA....

R5 cars are maybe on same speed (which is not sure on all types of stages), but RRC cars are more expensive and more reliable (because of the rules).

[PLuto]

But these cars without valid homologation are starting in the national rally which is officially a own rally. My question was if RRCs are allowed to start in the ERC field (without scoring points).

No, RRC cars cannot start in the ERC field (according to regulations ; if somebody with RRC will come to enter some rally, you never know what will FIA and Eurosport do).
