2025 ERC News & Rumours

People tend to follow "WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS" when it comes to motorsport, not regional or national championships. Thats really normal. I think hes just frustrated by the 2027 cars that are going to be at the R5's levels (performance.)
Top guys dont want to "go back" and dont want to lose the manufacturer salary they get etc etc.

Spot on mate.

(Plus I and many others do watch the ERC just as avidly as the WRC and often enjoy it more).

I don’t 100% agree, sure the cars are a factor, but the drivers are also a factor (obviously), once Paddon, Ostberg, or even say Latvala compete for the ERC title, it makes it much more interesting imho, this is not to say the championship isn’t interesting to me, I do like (mostly) what they’ve done with it but it does have more appeal when you have more drivers with pedigree.
