A beta is online now! ;) Very beta, btw... It even features some lorem ipsum text in the bottom :DQuote:

It just seems that EF is trying a lot but his knowledge on rallying is a bit holey. He thinks that when you are not P1, P2 or P3 driver then you are not doing Championship. Well, there is very easy explanation for you EF.Quote:

However second driver is always P1 driver as well. Car number is also the same for both (Manufacurer and WRC Team) for the whole season. WRC Team can change their drivers all the time.
P2 drivers list is here: http://argent.fia.com/web/fia-public.ns ... 202010.pdf
Drivers entered with a WRCar who have been classified among the first ten in a World Championship Rally during one of the two previous years or during the current year. Have won the JWRC title or the PWRC title in either of the two previous years. Have been entered by a Manufacturer or WRC Team but not for scoring points in the Manufacturers’ Championship and have been proposed by an organiser to the FIA and whose entry is supported by a letter from the drivers’ ASN and whose results justify Priority 2 inclusion.
P3 Drivers: Drivers who:
1. enter rounds of the Support Championships or the WRC Cup, when scoring points.
2. are entered by a WRC Team using other than a World Rally car.
3. enter events as part of the Pirelli Star Driver programme. Exceptionally these drivers may score points for the FIA Production car World Rally Championship in a minimum of 4 events.
The FIA will allocate a permanent competition number between 21 and 55 to each driver registered in the Support Championships and the WRC Cup for the Championship season. At events qualifying for PWRC/SWRC and JWRC, JWRC permanent competition numbers shall be preceded by 1, ie. 121.
Drivers who have no priority are always on the general classification and for example if Harry Hunt (which is not possible in normal conditions) finishes in 8th place he still gets 1 point. So. Driver without priority is either beginner, driver who is not registered in JWRC, SWRC, PWRC or not driving with WR Car but he is always included in general standings.
Petter Solberg is P2 driver and there is no rule for their competition number but there is always possibility that driver can ask permission from FIA to fix one number for the whole season or for certain races (Galli always asked to use his favorite number when he was P2 driver) for example if he wants to sale his car models and it is good when he is recognized with one number.
So, I hope it helps you all a bit. Sorry for talking it under PSWRT thread.
