2019 Rally Poland - Alexey Lukyanuk
The 2019 European Rally Championship was the 67th season of the FIA European Rally Championship , the European continental championship series in rallying. The season was also the seventh following the merge between the European Rally Championship and the Intercontinental Rally Challenge . Alexey Lukyanuk was the reigning champion and he returned to defend the title switching from a Ford Fiesta R5 to the Citroën C3 R5 . On the final round at Rally Hungary, Chris Ingram became the first British driver in 52 years to win the title in a Skoda Fabia R5 .
In 2019 the two European Junior Championship tiers were renamed: ERC Junior U28 became ERC1 Junior and ERC Junior U27 is retitled ERC3 Junior.[ 1]
FIA ERC1: Main class, for FIA-homologated cars with R5 regulations. Best 6 scores from 8 events.
FIA ERC2: Second tier, for cars more standard, albeit with turbocharged engines and four-wheel drive. This class allows the N4, the R4-K and RGT rules. Best 4 scores from 8 events.
FIA ERC3: Third ERC tier, the first for front-wheel-drive cars. Allows R3 and R2 cars. Best 6 scores from 8 events.
FIA ERC1 Junior: For drivers aged 28 and under on 1 January 2019 in R5 cars. The champion receives a prize money to contest the two last rounds of ERC (not part of ERC1 Junior). Best 4 scores from 6 events.
FIA ERC3 Junior: For drivers aged 27 and under on 1 January 2019 in R2 cars on Pirelli control tyres. The winner will get the chance to drive in two rounds of the 2020 FIA ERC in Škoda Fabia R5. Best 4 scores from 6 events.
ERC Ladies Trophy: for female drivers including all classes (ERC1, ERC2 and ERC3) eligible. Drivers count their best four scores.
Abarth Rally Cup: competition with six rounds of the ERC with the rear-wheel-drive Abarth 124 rally.[ 2]
FIA European Rally Championship for Teams: each team can nominate a maximum of three cars (from all categories), counting the two highest-placed cars from each team. Counting 6 best scores from 8 events.
ERC Nations Cup: like the ERC for Teams but for teams supported by a national motorsport federation or automobile association.
The calendar for the 2019 season features eight rallies (four rallies on tarmac and four on gravel) like the previous season, albeit in a shaked-up order. The Acropolis Rally was discontinued in its entirety after 2018, and was replaced by a new event in Hungary, Nyíregyháza Rally , which will also be the season finale. The previous season finale, Rally Liepāja , was moved to the third round of the season in May. The Cyprus Rally and Rally Poland were switched to the seventh and fourth rounds, respectively.
