Jeeez, before you ever complain about the quality of entry lists in ERC, have look at the entries in Shiraz International Rally 2017, the 5th round of Middle East Rally Championship...

So with one event to go the championship is still not over. But thanks to Kajto's second place in Rome two drivers can be crossed out of the equation. Both Bouffier and Lukyanuk lost their chances for the title. It's all between Kajetanowicz and Magalhaes now. Latvia will decide.

Why did Lukyanuk not restart in Rome? Was there other damage to his car?

Saving money probably. Title is gone

Huttunen won Hyundai's shoot out and will compete in WRC2 next year. I don't know how that would impact his ERC prize if he wins the U27 title this year but presumably he would at least have to drive a Hyundai on ERC events which do not interfere with his WRC schedule.

Yes, so it's Huttunen who gets the Hyundai deal. I didn't expect it, but good luck to him!
Here's more info about it:

Interesting ... I wonder if Hyundai picked Huttunen hoping he will win the JERC and bring the €100k prize with him ?

I don't think he will get the €100k in cash. It will be ERC paying his entry fees, tyres etc. For sure he will not be allowed to use it in WRC2.
Beside that, insinuating that he has won because he would have some money, doesn't do his talent any justice. He was very impressive in jERC and in WRC2 Finland. He is certainly a big talent for the future!

No, I didnt mean to criticise his talent. But the prize could be a nice bonus for Hyundai...
Unless the ERC see he already has a 'factory drive' for 2018 and award the money to another driver (assuming Huttunen wins JERC) ?
Great speeds. Did you miss WRC machinery on these roads?
