mmmm to me, wrc is just an acronym...stands for...
"Now in its 51st season, the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) continues to shine a spotlight on sustainability while also placing a firm focus on safety and performance." FIA website
can't think wrc is acronym for rally 1 and not for the others...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_...Championship-2
still, we can ask dirtfish or all live to shine some light on it! : )
edit:
skoda use it as world championship...
"and four crews have won World Championships in its colours in their categories."

I'll add for everybody reading that WRC2 crews inherently also compete for the World Rally Championship, which itself stretches beyond Rally1.
Skoda's four world championships claim is not accurate, just as four of five of the manufacturer's titles did not happen. They're being understandably liberal for readers who aren't as 'nuanced', and probably don't care themselves.
Wikipedia refused on vote to change the article titles as they will not accept what the FIA says (regs) for being "too close to the subject matter" to be used as a reliable source; and the term WRC2 was found 'not to be commonly used'(!). The 'common' name for a subject being the policy over any 'official' name.
I'm with Kenneth, the regs or this FIA publication has best authority and every title in full. No World Champions in WRC2/3 meanwhile no abbreviation of T3/T4/T5 W2RC. But this doesn't make the wins any less of their own achievement or useful for the conversation.

I like Oliver Solberg, I have nothing against him, but isn't it it a little "funny" or childish that after he probably lost the chance to win WRC2, he criticizes the regulations?
