2017 News and results

[Jarek Z]

I understand the funding issues. But it's his fourth (?) season in jERC. That can't be any good for his career...

Really? Is it not better than sitting at home, like most other British talents?

[Rally Power]

We cannot say they are not trying to make it easier for people to do these island events..
I hope it works.

It'll, most likely! One has to admit that Açores is much more than an island event. It has become the most iconic rally on the series and ERC regulars really want to do it. Last editions entry lists are the proof.

It’s a long and not cheap journey to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, but the remarkable support from organizers and local authorities (more generous each year) makes it more easy and affordable for the crews. It’s also a fantastic, and not that expensive, rally for spectators.

Well done Açores!

Yes it is. But not good for his career.

Great to read you are in the JERC for 2017 with @Opel. Any news of an R5 car coming in the future ?

Chris Ingram GB
Thanks a lot !!
Not sure... Still hope

But another paid drive with Opel isnt a bad 'second prize'

LOL

Ask him ... I guess they all need to pay Opel.

True only Huttunen not because it's his prize from Opel Cup in Germany. But Griebel and Ingram were paying drivers last year.

Portuguese crews from the mainland should also count as foreigner crews

I don't know about Huttunen, but the other winners of the Opel selection (Griebel, Bergkvist and Tannert) have been requested to pay for their drive. So I guess Huttunen has to bring some money aswell....

Whatever... he's happy...

@ChrisIngramGB
Thrilled to announce I'll compete with @Opel for a 2nd season in @FIAERC w' @EAERallying😃welcome to the team @TamaraMolinaro @HuttunenRacing https://t.co/J1XfXCIkBy

The prize money may be the reason for another jERC season and then onto an R5 in 2018...
