Not sure this WRC Trophy is a good thing. It will confuse casual motorsport fans and could take much needed publicity away from WRC2.

It will only be a creditable series depending on who is in it.

The '16 WRC cars are much more expensive to run than R5's so youngsters wont be in them. And the likes of Evans in an R5 beats the likes of Bertelli in a WRC anyway.

What is really the reason for this Trophy then - just to sell/run '16 WRC cars ?
