I don't think that's accurate actually, he was one of the 4 test drivers but the main one was Meeke.Quote:

Andreas and Jan had more kms I'm sureQuote:

He did that last year.Quote:

seems it has a smaller "sweet spot" than the older Fabias, more similar to the Polo.
Or... The competition is higher this season (Solberg, Pajari)Quote:

If using phone, then before editing switch to ,,Full Site'' mode and it seems to work..
Does something happens also with private messages? I read a new message and I answered twice but it doesn’t seem to send anything… Rallyper?
I got two messages from you. And answered too. :)Quote:

Moto2 and Moto3 champions are World Champions, but it's FIM, not FIA. Just look at FIA website. It's WRC2 Championship, not World Rally2 Championship, as dumb as it sound.Quote:

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."
https://www.skoda-motorsport.com/en/...-championship/
I'll add for everybody reading that WRC2 crews inherently also compete for the World Rally Championship, which itself stretches beyond Rally1.Quote:

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?
https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/what-...ke-about-wrc2/
Solberg won almost twice as many stages as his nearest rival and led for longer than anybody else through 2023, but is down in the 4th position in the championship and is not sure who his main competition is :)

It is the same as the other one
same as the other, loubet "fake" interview + msport "plan b" could be replacing ford with a new brand.Quote:

Mares �� Toyota ?

That would be GREAAT news, is he going to be manufacturer driver for them then?
Or they could just pay him for testing it
or just a potential customer?
Both Mares and Cais tested it.
Maybe they wanted reference from Semetin specialists:D
I think Toyota has already announced they won`t be having an official manufacturer team for Rally 2, at the most something similar as ToksportQuote:
