Full announcement tomorrow. Looks like I will be able to watch him in one or two rounds of WorldRX then.

Do you think he’ll be running the entire schedule? (every event is represented in his image).

I’d like to see him run ERC, too.

I do. Not sure if he will do the entire GRC schedule, depends on clashing events. Rumors are that he is preparing something together with Ford and M-Sport (who runs the Ford WRC team), with a two car WorldRX team. EuroRX (formerly known as ERC) will be at the same events as WorldRX, so racing both series is practically impossible.

It is quite interesting, considering his status in the US. Might be a case of “now or never”.

Sorry, I was referring to European Rally Championship (ERC), not EuroRX. It would be interesting—although not wholly uncalled for—that he would miss some GRC this year. He was pretty unhappy with some of the antics last year that led up to three or four straight poor finishes (or DNFs).

Ah. I doubt that he will do any ERC. It might be a challenge, but it won’t give him and his sponsors anything. More likely to see WRC entries or some Rally America then.

Looks like theres gonna be fair amount of World RX rounds if not the full schedule although I’m optimistic some of those are WRC rounds. It would be a pretty big loss for GRC if he decided not run the full series.
