Also no BRC and most likely split APRC season with Juuso Nordgren

Jouhki says Mexico and Argentina are quite confirmed, then Finland, Wales and Catalunya, possibly also Tour de Corse. And like said, to Monte with TGS Skoda Fabia R5, possibly another event is also with TGS since Skoda's program is not confirmed yet. And some national tarmac practice event in Italy or France before TDC.

I didn't realize earlier, but removing mandatory WRC2 events is a benefit for Rovanperä, as he can now challenge for the title with the 6-7 events he can do next year. Not saying he's yet able to beat Tidemand or Kopecky or even Veiby, but it must give motivation.

EDIT: If I'm correct Kalle can drive in Mexico, Argentina and Finland before turning 18, and after that Spain, Wales and Australia. That's only six events though, whereas a seventh could be spared for a bad result.

He is also allowed to drive in Germany...

[AnttiL]

Well Turkey is new event, has someone checked their laws?

18

18

Like France. So i don't understand why Jouhki talks about MC and TDC.

He could drive only on stages. Codriver can do the rest

18 also for Germany

They did that in Finland earlier this year, but still weren't allowed to take part in Rally Finland. But then again, he didn't have a license back then... This is truly complicated. If they could pick any country, why would they take the trouble to go to Mexico and Argentina instead of for example Sweden? They must have a some sort of waiver for France, but not the other countries.

Jouhki also says that "apparently Kalle ja Juuso will split the APC rallies between them", which to me sounds like Veiby will contest most of the WRC2 program (which probably makes sense from Skoda's point of view given his experience in WRC events). And especially for Nordgren the APC would be a good chance to get more R5 and 4WD experience.

I doubt that Kalle would ever want to do that again, it's a way too big of a disadvantage.
