    True, but you would expect drivers who do more events to score more points, except Meeke

    Yeah!
    and out of those 19:
    3 are FWD R2/R3 cars and 2 GrN, only 2 R5´s.
    11x WRC17 and one old WRC.

    And this is why Rally NZ would be a better option, the national field at the last round of our championship had 80 cars, and I would suspect we would easily be able to do that or more if we were part of a WRC round... For such a big country, with huge wealth, I don't understand why Australia doesn't have a better national rally scene! Or maybe its the vast distances you have to cover to do the championship? (and of course I am not a one eyed, disgruntled Kiwi at all!).

    What you are looking at is the WRC entry list, there will also be a National entry list due out next week. As for NZ it is highly unlikely that many of the local cars would be approved to enter a WRC. How many locals were in the APRC event in Whangarei?

    Er Not entirely true. The majority of the field are ASN class cars which are National/Regional Cars as per the FIA regs. If you look the majority of them are AP4 cars. A lot of these cars would be in the National field as well. The same would apply in New Zealand.

    #WRC Sarrazin Motorsport in charge of @HuttunenRacing program for 2018 and debuts in Sweden WRC-2 → http://bit.ly/2xiVEtl


    Announced at the end of September as the chosen Hyundai Motorsport Driver Development Program, Jari Huttunen will start his official WRC-2 2018 season with the Wrc Sweden Rally next February under the Hyundai Motorsport banner.

    However the Finn's i20R5 will be supported and prepared by Sarrazin Motorsport and the full details of its 2018 program will be revealed later. At first, it will be for the first time driving this car this weekend at the Rally Wrc Britain.

    Hyundai Motorsport official release.

    Nice choice. I think it's a win-win for everyone:

    1) Sarrazin will make experience as a team manager or similar. I don't understand if he will compete as well. In that case it's bingo
    2) Huttunen will have full support both from Hyundai and from Sarrazin's squad. Also he can get valuable advise from a very very complete driver!
    3) Hyundai will nurture a great talent with huge potential and also will develop its R5 (I guess).

    Sarrazin Motorsport was competing this year, also in WRC2. They have Skoda Fabia R5 and Hyundai i20 R5. So no problem...
