2007 WRC M2 Teams?

Which teams were considered M2 (manufacturer 2) teams in 2007 WRC season?

I believe they were:

OMV Kronos Citroen World Rally Team,
Stobart VK M-Sport Ford Rally Team,
Munchi's Ford World Rally Team.

Can anyone confirm this, please?

Did they have to start all 16, or just 10 rallies, as they did in 2006?

The M1 teams (Citroen Total World Rally Team, BP Ford World Rally Team and Subaru World Rally Team) were obliged to start all 16 rallies, as in 2006.

And what was the status of Suzuki World Rally Team, who only started twice during that season?

They did have to do at least 10 rallies. Munchi's did 10, whereas Stobart and kronos did all 16. (All though Kronos didn't do all the rallies with two cars as they should have. In the end they were allowed to keep their manu points.)

They entered Tour de Corse and Rally GB with 1 car on each event. The drivers were Bernardi and Lindholm, and they were entered as Priority drivers 2, which means no manufacturer points for Suzuki.

Hope that helped :) If you want more detailed info, then send me a PM and I will mail you an Excel sheet which is really good.
