2022 ERC News & Rumours

[PLuto]

What is the prosess and cost to register as a ERC partner, as you have to do for drivers to be able to use your tyres in any of the classes. Or is the Open class different, can you use any tyre brand there?

Everybody who wants to score points must use "correct" tyres. In all categories. And to be registered tyre manufacturer, you need only one thing - pay the fee...

And the fee for ERC is?
Is the same possible for any of the classes in WRC, or did Pirelli get everything in their deal?

In WRC, there is unique tyre supplier for all competitors (or better all 4WD competitors). In ERC, tyre brand is free. Until the end of previous year, it was completely free (only tyre must be valid according to FIA homologation). Since this year with new promoter, it is mandatory to use registered tyre brands. And the fee is quite high. For me higher than it should be - but I dont know if I can publish that fee here. But in fact, I will prefer to keep it without any registration, but like usually, it is about money and somebody must pay for all live. There is a question if it is worth for the companies to pay such a huge money, for most of them it is nonsense as it will not return from the competitors. And, of course, tyre manufacturers has limited budget. So if they will spend more money for registration, they will give less as a support to the competitors...

Re ERC+
On checking I dont see any coverage scheduled on BT Sport in the UK, even though they show the WRC All Live stream.

One hopes this changes, but I won't be surprised if they don't show it.

Still missing champ standings in ERC Open on the website.
Did they forget?

Also would like to have a video report per day from the support classes, as they make in WRC. They also need something for their sponsors.

Yes, nothing at all so far and not shown on All-Live either.
