The 2014 European Rally Championship season was the 62nd season of the FIA European Rally Championship , the European continental championship series in rallying. The season was also the second following the merger between the European Rally Championship and the Intercontinental Rally Challenge .
The season started in Austria on January 3, with the Internationale Jänner Rallye and finished in November 8 in Tour de Corse . Esapekka Lappi (Škoda Fabia S2000 ) was the 2014 European Champion.
In addition to the championship title, the series introduced three additional trophies, with one for each surface type. The "Ice Master" trophy was awarded to the driver who scores the most points on snow events, while the "Gravel Master" trophy was presented to the driver who scores the most points on gravel rallies, and the driver who scores the most points on tarmac events won the "Asphalt Master" trophy.[1]
For the Ice Master were accounted the result of winter rallies in Austria and Latvia. The Gravel Masters was composed by Acropolis (2nd sector only), Azores, Estonia and Cyprus while the Asphalt Master was contested in Acropolis (1st sector only), Ireland, Ypres, the Czech Republic, Valais and Corsica.[1] [2]
Calendar [ ]
The calendar for the 2014 season initially featured twelve rallies.[2]
Notes:
^1 – Sibiu Rally Romania was supposed to be run in late February, but was postponed due to the weather conditions for October, and later was cancelled.
Calendar Changes [ ]
The 2014 European Rally Championship saw the addition of the Acropolis Rally , recently dropped from the 2014 World Rally Championship season in favour of the Rally Poland .[2]
The Sibiu Rally Romania was originally to be run in February, to become the third and final event in the newly created Winter Challenge mini-series.[2] However, bad weather conditions in the country and the roads being inaccessible caused the rally to be postponed in October as a fully gravel event. Later, the rally was cancelled.[3]
The Tour de Corse changed its date, and became the season finale.[2]
The Rally Islas Canarias El Corte Inglés , the Croatia Rally and the Rallye Sanremo were dropped from the championship.[2]
