No, but taking a championship in WRC2 gives in some seasons more cred than in WRC1.
- Less competition in number of cars
- Much bigger difference btw cars due to manufacturer "prototypes" compared to a car all of us can buy. Same as in F1 and F2.

I'd agree with you if WRC2 wasn't a championship where you can select your set of events and avoid the competition.

Ffs, I wanted to edit a typo, but the whole post disappeared.

This happens for months now in the forum. When you try to edit post, post gets deleted.

Nah. JWRC gives even more cred cause they all have the same cars and there is more drivers…..

You have to call FIA and tell them that a WRC2 championship is not a real WDC.

Here some are discussing how worthless the best drivers in WRC2 are, but not how f..ng shitty todays Rally1 championship is that don't allow the best talents and the champions from the lower tier classes to even get a test.

I don't care about those "insane cars", yeah, they are insane in every way, but they ruin the sport. This isn't anything close the DNA of rallying, its dead.

But, its ofcourse better to bash the drivers trying than discuss the real problems for "real rallyfans"......

Nice rant but best drivers (at least 5-6 drivers) are in Rally1 cars, simple as that.
Otherwise by your (norwegian) standards the best rally drivers in recent years are Lindholm and Kajto hehe

And nobody's bashing Mikkelsen's driving (very decent driver) but his attitude and excuses when he is being beaten fair and square.

Ay these partisan discussions are kind of pointless. Very few people stay rational when certain driver names get thrown around.

Trying to heat it up a little

I'm Norwegian, but not particular Mikkelsen fan, i'm a fan of every decent driver around, mostly atleast.

The ruleset of the wrc2 championship is something we can disquss, but we can't use against every driver we dont support.

Mikkelsen shouldn't make setup mistakes like that he did in Finland, but lots of drivers thru the years has done that kind of mistakes, its often a desicion they made togheter with the team/engineers.

The problem is most often the drivers/team/engineers thinks this&that is teoretical faster, but if the driver don't have the feeling, or they forgot to count in the variety of the road (as subaru in 2005-06 did) noone can drive it fast, practical always triumph teoretical.

I hope every decent driver that can make it can earn a chance in the top-class, why not?
