FIA EHRC SOCIAL MEDIA: The EHRC Quiz is Launched
 


The two new FIA EHRC Social Media Channels have been up and running for one week and have been attracting a lot of attention.  The Facebook page has reached over 26K people and the video introducing the Historic Vltava Rally has been viewed over 2000 times on the  Instagram page in just 2 days.



In an effort to engage with the new audiences, a regular feature called ‘The EHRC Quiz’ has been launched and will be run each Wednesday throughout the 2022 season.  



The first week will feature two questions on the Lancia Rally 037, with other rounds featuring pictures and car sounds in the coming weeks.  It is all for a bit of fun, but a scoreboard will be maintained to see who will become the EHRC Quiz Champion at the end of the year.



You can see first round of The EHRC Quiz on FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM


We would request that all drivers, teams and event organisers to follow and tag the new FIA EHRC social media channels and use the hashtag #fiaehrc when posting relevant content so we can share on the championship channels.
