What would an ERC round in Yorkshire look like ?
It’s a pretty common opinion that UK Gravel is currently missing from International rally calendars. And While a return of WRC to Wales is looking unlikely it’s fun to hypothesise alternative events that may fit into a ERC calendar. Based in the North of England and therefore wanting to choose stages close and familiar to myself, there’s 3 main options. Kielder, Lake District and Yorkshire. Itgetsfasternow.com wrote a great fantasy route for a WRC based in Carlisle using Kielder and Lake District. So for my ERC route I’ve gone to Yorkshire and County Durham. Some quick notes: All stages have been used since 2010 but can not be certain they’d be available currently Timings would likely need changing for TV The event gives a nod to RAC rallies of the past with stately home stages as well as the majority of forests being used on RAC rallies previous FIA ERC rules dictate a total distance between 180-220 kilometres and no more than 4 stages
