We all know how much per km is Rally2, how much are entry fees, tyres, fuel etc.
It is true that price for the car can vary a lot depending on team, but I hardly believe you can spent more than 100.000€ for one wrc2 event with big PET.

Dont't forget that it's not only rally km's, to be competetive you have to do a lot of testing, and that costs a lot also

PG Andersson calculated with 100 000 € for rally Sweden. So I guess that figure is in the ballpark.

This weekend Gryazin, Cais and Johnston testing/competing in Slovenia.
Yesterday tested Gryazin, today also Cais and Johnston, but on separate roads :)
They will start also on first rally for slovenian national championship (little less than 100 km of special stages), which will be held in region of Vipava valley near border with Italy. Friday night superspecial, saturday 9 special stages.
Weather forecast isn't good, for saturday heavy rain whole day and snow above 800m of altitude. Special stage Predmeja is in danger about having snow flakes, because it is up in higher places...

Gryazin wins ahead of Cais, pretty comfortable, lead whole rally.
Johnston made little mistake on polluted road, cost him to withdrawn on SS4.
For me man of the race was Virves, with Rally3 won last stage in GC and finished rally 3. in GC after puncture of fastest slovenian driver Rok Turk with Hyundai i20 Rally2.

Fears about weather unfortunately came true, 2 stages in mountains were cancelled due snow storm (5-10 cm of fresh snow on some parts of stage) and strong wind (at moments more than 100 km/h).

Interesting observation. I didn't notice that. Good day for him indeed.

I have just noticed that there is something called "WRC2 Masters". Good God, some of those drivers are 60 and 70 years old! :)
