You can get away from the FIA, but who is going to run the show then? The GRC is run out of the FIA, but people hate that too.
I don't care if FIA or some commercial company is running ERC. I have problems with stupid plans which are turning around the sport completely. You don't need to make these changes to create a commercial succesful series. Like I said before: The sport is healthy but it need only better promotion.

People don't like GRC because of the gap jump and the tracks. People don't care who's running the sport.
