ERC will be seen always as a second championship to WRC..

The wording "European" vs "World" says everything
Why shoudn't Skoda (parent company) want to win a 'World' Championship?

All the national companies / distributors should have interest in the ERC.

Mind you, Eurosport are not exactly setting the world alight with the coverage of the ERC: here in the UK the highlights are on at 'stupid-o'clock' and they did what, 3, maybe 4 hours of Live coverage in all the 2014 season? Two events in to 2015, and still no Live. Have they announced any plans for some? No, just an extra 15 minute preview show from each event.

It isn't always the fault of the FIA....
