I can tell You one thing.... when You win Ypres a crowd of thousands will celebrate Your victory on the packed square under the fireworks and the celebration of Your victory will take whole night. When You win WRC2 You just drive over the finish ramp as nobody really cares about somebody who finished 15th overall.
Same goes to media attention. When Škoda was winning rallies in IRC/ERC our media were full of it. In 2015 You can't find an article saything they won something in WRC. You can just find that "Prokop finished 8th, Kopecký 12th". And that's all. Tell me what is good about that?
WRC2 is good for someone who wants to step in WRC or wants to drive WRC events because it is WORLD rally championship. Still the public or media recognition of WRC2 winners is close to zero. For manufacturer PR it's just wasted money.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Maciej Oleksowicz was 5th in WRC2/SWRC in 2012. Everybody forgot about it on the next day.

Thanks for your reply. I know what you mean. But I still don't understand it. It cannot be true that Armin Kremer (47 years old), Jourdan Serderidis (51 years old), Jean-Michel Raoux (44 years old) or Lambros Athanassoulas (39 years old), who entered WRC2 on this year's Monte, see themselves as future world rally champions
I don't know how much weed they would have to smoke to believe it
But still - good luck to all of them!http://www.rallymadness.prv.pl - rally photos and movies!

For me it sound reasonable to remove Hybrid from the car in terms of cost saving. If I am not mistaken, one unit is ca 15% of the total car cost. And in most of the rallies, more than one unit is...
