Any clue about 2025?

croatia is in, right? latvia is probably in to rotate with estonia (wrc)
poland, czechia, scandinavia for sure will be there. hungary too? rome?
canarias will move to wrc, uk no idea. so 2 or 3 "open slots", in a way
still waiting for france to be included
but its probably something along these places, eh?

It doesn't seem likely for Hayden Paddon to return to ERC next year:

Does anyone know when we might expect the 2025 calendar to be settled?

In November, after WMSC.

But good to hear he'd like to return "if there’s an offer and someone says, ‘come and drive our car’.”

Any chance of this, PLuto ?

With his long-term connection I dont expect he will drive a car of different brand...

excellent! they leaked the european autocross championship calendar yesterday, so it was clear erc calendar was also ready!
i still think france should have a round, because they have really decent championships over there, but heey... erc cannot go wrong! hope to see some cool names doing it! go go go!
(gotta get ben hunt NZ champ and harry bates OZ champ to do the championship)

 

[Sal yet again]

Dont think I will be able to persuade my wife to spend our anniversary in Wales for Ceredigion but good to see it back on the calendar! Hopefully a few more Rally2 crews in 2025.

Latvia losing its place after a year in the WRC seems like a bit of a kick in the teeth. Would’ve preferred to see it instead of Sierra Morena and have an equal gravel/tarmac split

 

[AndyRAC]

I always feel the ERC starts too late, and finishes too early......and probably needs a winter event. I always hope Valais will come back........

But I think this is to meet request of competitors, as this late start gives privateers more time to find the budget.

someone suggested somewhere that maaaaaybe the money needed to run an erc event is being used to pay for a rally1 msports for sesks. no idea if thats true but it sounded interesting imo
