    Prokop, Gorban and Raoux in the trophy for Portugal, shame Serderidis is not there.
    Does someone know wich drivers have some more rally's planned in this trophy. Wil this be only outing of Raoux?

    I still like the idea of tis extra championship, a shame there are not more competitors found..

    5 was minimum of entrants for this Trophy. Now they have it.

    I´m still hoping that someone will start with VW

    pantalex, didn´t they have to complete some minimal number of events to be counted in final classification at the end of year or am I mistaken and to compete one rally is enough?

    Could we finally have some competition in this class?

    Could someone tell me what's the motivation for Bertelli to drive a 2017 car and not compete the WRC Trophy? His speed clearly isn't on the level of the works drivers or Østberg, he has basically no one to compete with.

    Raimund Baumschlager drove a 2016 Polo in an Austrian event a week ago, maybe he could do a WRC event? Or do you have to pre-enter to WRC Trophy at the beginning of the season?

    If you had the choice between driving a 2017 car against real competition or a 2016 car against a bunch of old men in a meaningless cup that no-one cares about, what would you choose?

    Let's add

    1. Driving a 2017 car and losing by minutes to every other driver, with no one close to the same level.
    2. Driving a 2016 car and most likely winning the Trophy, having some actual competition.

    Prokop and Bertelli would be about the same speed, as would be Gorban and Al-Qassimi. That would be even some competition.

    Is there actual competition?

    Up until Protugal there has only been 1 or two cars in the class. Is that 'actual competition'?

    The Trophy is a joke, and I'd prefer the challenge and thrill of driving a 2017 spec car rather than beating old businessman..

    A young businessman beating the old ones?

    Probably Prokop would be faster at every rally.
