There's a 3-way battle also in historic ERC.

Why can Latvala score more max points than Lubiak and Graham? Dropped scores?

Splitting the championship in 3 just seems like needless complications...

It's to meet demand from the competitors

We will see if it will work... I am not big fan of so many events and so many championships. I prefer to concentrate the events and competitors...

I think the "gravel championship" will get very few regular competitors. And late 90's car seem still too modern to me to be part of a historic championship...

You must be about as old as me as that's the way I thought until I looked back on the first historic rally I worked on!

It was the historic rally tagged on to the 1988 Manx International and the big Healey's, Sunbeam Tigers &c taking part were about as old then as a late 1990's car is now.

Doesn't time fly when you're old!

I wasn't even born in 1988

I'm referring to the fact that up until this year, the limit for eligibility in the EHRC was around 1992/1993 and it was usually changing progressively. Now all of a sudden, a big jump up until 2000.
We have modern championship like Alpe Adria or Mitropa cups in which S1600s or Lancer Evo VIII N4 are (or were just) eligible, now they're almost historic cars.

My apologies (you lucky b.......!)

You'd be really shocked if you followed historic racing. They have historic categories and series for cars built in this century!
