Looks good, spreading over 7 months with 8 events (4 Asphalt & 4 Gravel), and 3 events (Cyprus, Spa & San Remo) as back-up.

Smart thinking and planning ahead - excellent job by Eurosport Events.

Perhaps the new Rally3 class could shake up the ERC support categories in the future so drivers progress from Rally4 cars to Rally3 and winner of the Rally 3 category could win a programme in a Rally2 car the following year. It always seemed a bit incongruous to me that the prize for winning ERC3 junior was virtually the same as winning ERC1 Junior.

As Rally3 cars should be cheaper to run that Rally2, perhaps the prize for winning the Rally4 Championship could even stretch to a full season in a Rally3?

Less rallies is never good, but it’s important to have this resolved before Canarias so we know what’s on the line and the winners can celebrate properly.

A good idea for an article, but are those calculations correct? In the first picture the maximum number of points for Solberg is 139. But if he wins Canarias he can score 30 + 5 + 5 = 40 points. So in total he can have 89 + 40 = 129 and not 139 points.

ERC point-scoring system is explained below. It seems too difficult for journalists

Aaaa, dont tell me this. I was trying whole day today (interrupted by questions of competitors) calculate possibilities for all championships. And now I have problems to understand what I have made (and problem is not with the system of points, but with possible combinations)...

So 27 point difference right now.
That should under normal circumstances be too much, but you never know - all is possible!
Even Munster can become champion, with 33 point less than Luky before the last rally.

Lets hope for an exiting final!
