Only 8 WRC2 competitors to Sardinia but with 5 different cars.
(one is from Italy, is it all time low entries in European WRC-event ?)
TOP3 most probably Kopecky, Veiby and Loubet
The situation for Tidemand looks pretty good now that Mikkelsen and Suninen are having actual WRC drives. Had Suninen entered in Sardinia, he'd be in for relatively easy 25 points, but he's not going to be back in a WRC2 car until Germany, and by that point he needs to start winning to catch Tidemand. Germany and Wales are mandatory so Tidemand will drive them and then some third event, probably snatching an easy fifth win somewhere. Or maybe Mikkelsen's not getting more WRC drives and will take four more wins?
Suninen is still only getting the '17 Fiesta for Poland and Finland right? Or did they add more events for him in the new car?
Wales depends of WRC2 standings
13 same names in Portugal and Germany entry list (both are mandatory)
Veiby (and Mikkelsen) fastest of those who are skipping.
They are no longer mandatory. Before Sardinia FIA changed rules. Crews can miss the "mandatory" events but they take zero points for them.
