Glad to see Kajto returning. Shame the ERC-winning partnership with M-Sport Poland has come to an end.

Pedro with M-Sport at WRC2

Yes, it's a shame that his successful partnership with M-Sport Poland ends, but Kajto was frustrated with constant breakdowns of Fiesta R5. Without all those technical failures his results in 2017 and 2018 would have been much better.Quote:

Κajto with BRR too.
Astonishing economic year for BRR!
Benito Guerra announced he should be in 7 WRC2 events, mainly the non-European ones: Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Australia plus 3 other European events.

We're delighted to welcome ‘Pedro’ and co-driver Emanuele Baldaccini to the M-Sport family. The Italian pairing will take to the wheel of an EcoBoost-powered Ford Fiesta R5 for two seasons in WRC 2.

Probably not but paying MSport for their campaign like Pedro and Alberto Heller. Only factory team that is willing to do that.Quote:

Great livery, and clever choice of events.Quote:

Would be nice, but is the only source for this the FIA press release drivers list?Quote:

Pieniążek is the only driver registered for the WRC 2 Pro category, but he insisted he would still be fighting. “Our goal is to be the first R5 crew so we won’t be cruising and we’ll try to go as fast as possible,” he explained.
There are four entries in the WRC 2 category for privateer drivers. Local hero Benito Guerra returns in a Skoda Fabia R5, 12 months after a fire destroyed his car at his Mexico pre-event test.
Also in a Skoda is 18-year-old rising star Marco Bulacia Wilkinson, who has been hailed as Bolivia’s answer to Kalle Rovanperä. He returns for a first WRC appearance since October’s RallyRACC Catalunya - Rally de España.
Chile’s Albert Heller and his older brother Pedro will both drive Ford Fiestas. Alberto was the winner of his most recent WRC 2 appearance at last year’s season-ending round in Australia.
So is Kopecky busy with testing of new Fabia R5?
I was quite surprised to see him absent from the Corsica entry list.
Why surprised? Škoda officially said that only Rovanperä was about to do WRC2.Quote:

How’s Pieniazek doing in WRC2 Pro? Still leading?
No, he is last:D
But he is best FORD.Quote:

Guys, I didn't have anything to say on the forum today, but I logged in only to give you "likes" for this hillarious sense of humour above. You made my day :D
Pieniazek didn't manage to finish any rally without using Rally2, but moves up to the second position in WRC2 Pro:
1. Greensmith - 40
2. Pieniazek - 39
3. Rovanpera - 36
4. Ostberg - 25
5. Pietarinen - 0
This is WRC trophy again. Rovanperä is Gorban, being fastest but crashing, and Pieniazek is Serderidis, slowest but picks up wins where no one else finishes
Greensmith hasnt done much wrong and has the right attitude of aiming to be fastest R5 driver regardless.
