Ok so I'm biased towards Ingram (and I sent a lot of money to help support his ERC season), but if there is to be any fairness or progression then a young European rally champion shouldnt have to pay (yet again) for a WRC2/3 chance.

There's no prizemoney for winning the ERC, so there should at least be a WRC2/3 chance provided by one of the Manu teams.
