    Changes for 2018
    - Shakedown tyres are not included in the tyre quota for a rally
    - R5 drivers are free to choose their tyre brand
    - WRC Trophy is no more, privateers can enter WRC2017 cars (as we saw Serderidis already is going for this)
    - No more mandatory events for WRC2 (this season Portugal, Deutschland and Wales were mandatory)

    Only a registered manufacturer could enter 2017 cars this year. Østberg was entered always under M-Sport, same for Bertelli and other privateers. In 2018 Adapta could enter Østberg, FWRT could enter Bertelli, Serderidis can enter himself. A manufacturer can only enter 6 cars per rally so theoretically we could now see more WRC2017 cars

    Oh, that difference. Ok, but not a big change (if one could get his hands on that new car, he would probably be registered by manu. also, six same cars would be a wonder).

    Yeah it just means teams don't have to get creative with their paperwork any more. Not a big change but good to see a daft rule removed. Good to see the Shakedown tyre thing sorted too. All quite sensible.

    That article said R5 but I was also thinking it should say WRC2

    Was there a rule in place about this before regarding WRC2? Did you have to stick with the same tyre manufacturer across a season? Don't seem to remember that being the case.

    No, you have been free to chose between Michelin and Dmack as they have been the only official tyre suppliers, next year apparently for WRC2 there will be no official suppliers to this class, probably only for WRC
