FIA revealed new Junior European Rally Championship calendar for 2020

avatar

Hi, friends!

As we all know this is very strange year for the sport, globally and regionally. I managed to have two starts this season and I can be satisfied with this (we finished in the ditch on both occasions but we are alive). Some drivers didn't have any start in 2020 because some championships had to start in March when coronavirus pandemic took its shape.

One of the championships that didn't have any event is European Rally Championship.
ERC also has Junior ERC championship inside of it and that's the championship for the young drivers.

We have two Junior classes in ERC:
FIA ERC1 Junior Championship refresher: Drivers aged 28 and under on 1 January 2020 in Rally2 cars are eligible, providing they are registered for ERC1 of course.

FIA ERC3 Junior Championship refresher: For drivers aged 27 and under on 1 January 2020 in Rally4 and Rally5 cars on Pirelli control tyres.

So youngsters have five events schedule and if the rules are same as previous seasons, Juniors will get 100 000€ prize for winning the class.
And that's nice budget for the next season.

Revised calendar from FIA:
Rally di Roma Capitale (asphalt), 24-26 July,
Rally Liepāja (Latvia, gravel), 14-16 August,
Azores Rallye (gravel), 17-19 September,
Rally Hungary (asphalt), 6-8 November,
Rally Islas Canarias (asphalt), 26-28 November.

My club is organizer of rally that it should be a candidate event for ERC 2021. We will see what we can expect after the economic impact because of pandemic.
