I was just thinking about that, it'd be great to see Condroz in ERC. But I remember someone talking on this forum about problems with crowds at Condroz which would become an even bigger problem in ERC...? Originally Posted by dupanton

Crowd control is an issue yes. There is always a lot of public, a lack of stewards on most places and a lot of (drunk) spectator who can't take care of themselves. Just watch some images of the rally and you will see plenty of examples, unfortunatly... Originally Posted by focus206

Just read the full press release and there will be no Rally Estonia in 2017. The next one will be in 2018. The gap year is used to find more ways how to make the event better and also to decide in what championship/series it will be in. Originally Posted by PLuto

Painful truth is that, ERC drivers with few exeptions, are just too slow for estonian rally fans. And participation was joke even comparing to national events. I know plenty of friends who went to see 2-3 WRC rallies this year and not to Rally Estonia in it's current state. But what other rally series to attract here besides WRC is a bit of mystery.

What a shame! Anyway, maybe Rally di Roma Capitale will be a new entry of the 2017 FIA ERC Calendar!

Shame, I hope they'll be able to fix that, I see Condroz as a great last round of ERC, much better than Cyprus for that. Originally Posted by dupanton

I don't think so, it has been going on for years and years, they get a lot of complaints about it, but they just can't handle it... Originally Posted by focus206
Anyway, with Lefebvre, Breen, Duval, Bergkvist, Matton, Princen, De Mevius etc at the start, they have a great entrylist even without ERC!

I think we need to wait until the commercial deal gets done and what the vision of the series after that is before we all get bent out shape. I think whatever happens 2027 is going to be stop gap...
