No, that's not going to happen. I think he's just saying that as a another 'thank-you' to Opel for backing him the last two years and saying if they had an R5 he'd stay with them.
In terms of his options, I wonder if M-Sport would consider backing him with an R5 ERC entry ? They have won the BRC twice now and dont really have anything to prove there. Perhaps they could step into the ERC in 2018, especially with Ingram having the €100k to bring to them ...#M-SPORTER

M-Sport has nothing to prove in ERC either. They won the title with Kajetanowicz 3 times in a row.

Wasn't talking about any specific season, just saying that Lukyanuk name deserves to be on ERC champs roll; once he wasn’t able to get it on the previous years, I hope he’ll managed to do it in the future.

It shall be enough for 2 ERC events with a good car and a pre-event test.

As long as one or more Fiesta R5s are fighting for the title, and it doesn't cost M-Sport any money... For M-Sport it's probably better publicity if a privateer with their car can fight for the title, than when it's one of their own "works" cars... It means it is the car you can buy yourself, that's fighting for the win (be it Kajto or Lukyanuk or anyone else). With "works" cars you are never 100% sure (they should be the same but everyone knows they aren't). So I don't see any reason why M-Sport should invest in ERC. Maybe you want it to happen, but it's pointless.

Ingram already last autumn was testing Fiesta and looking for opportunity to drive it in 2017... so maybe now he will come back to this idea.

Great speeds. Did you miss WRC machinery on these roads?
