Opening round of the ERC 2013 season, 30° Internationale Janner Rallye,  is just around the weekend and will be live in around 2 days. 

Janner Rallye was common both to ERC & IRC drivers & crews. The interesting thing about this rally is the time which it is scheduled, which makes it similar to the Monte Carlo Rallye. The event is held on the tarmac roads of Austria, which normally experiences snow fall and hence ice is mostly present on the roads. The rally has 18 special stages of around 248 kms, and measures of a total 825 kms including transport.

With all this weather condition, probably it is the entry list which really looks good. A good 64 cars [Wow!], in those fifteen S2000 spec cars, five R4 spec cars, and a pretty long list of Group N & around eighteen R2 cars will be fighting for the top honors.

Some useful rally docs:

The narrow and fast asphalt roads, with corners at tricky places and lined by the deep and grassy drains, makes no room for surprise moves. Not just that, the drains have hidden concrete culverts at places, if upon a slightest moment, can rip-off a wheel or smash any part of the car - with no remorse. The rally is not new to the championship, nor to the competitors. Local talents from here have made it to the top level rallying, for example; Thierry Neuville . However, it will be Freddy Loix , the local star who has won the event 7 times earlier and will be one to watch. Practice & Qualifying was held on Thursday , and as expected Freddy Loix went the fastest and chose to start first on Day 1, while Craig Breen was second fastest will start on #2 position, and Bryan Bouffier was

Season - 2013 | A Dawn of a New ERA!

By Ashok R
In the history of Rally series, European Rally Championship  is one major and popular series, which dates back to early 1950's, when the sport was still evolving. With the merger of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge series into the series which has rich history, the glamour of the former series makes it a real treat for everyone involved, actively or passively. FIA brought in the change with the merger to get the costs under control and keep the integrity of the sport as well as to reduce the confusion among both different, yet which were sharing the geographical & competition in each of them. Season 2013 - being the 61st edition of the series, is going to kick start just on the fourth day of the new year, which just adds for the cheering revelry to the fans & friends alike. The series was normally a spread over 11 rallies in the previous season, but it is going to be a 13 rally series from this year to accommodate the IRC pattern. Starting from  Internationale
