My WRC2 season 2016 consists of at least 10 rounds in Europe. I will drive Skoda Fabia R5 run by Team Oreca.

Besides, Kopecky isn't that old to be another Baumshlager or Loix to settle for endless national championships.

I think he would be a better bet than someone like Camili at this stage, but I don't think he will leave Skoda. He will only get a WRCar chance again if VW leave and Skoda replace them, which doesn't look likely anytime soon.

Never in a long time has the feeder series to the WRC represented more opportunity than the WRC2 in 2016.

In 2017 and 2018 there is going to be an even bigger fight for talents. Depending on som X factors I think we can see at least one or two moves by the top drivers. And Toyota will demand two or three drivers. Citroën number two spot is up for grabs depending on how the current proteges deliver.

It is going to be interesting to follow, and I guess some team bosses will follow quite closely too.

Interesting startlist for wrc2 in sweden, even grøndal in a fiesta.
Its not going to be a walkover in this class this year:)

Biiiiig fight in WRC2. Not sure how many of that entrylist will be down for WRC2 points but still. Surely most of them. Definitely a treat for those out on the stages (which thankfully I am again this year).

Kruuda not in the list but he said that he will start in sweden

Hopefully a late entry - but then if he was so sure why isn't it already there? Often seems to go quiet with Kruuda these days. I really hope he will be on the final list.

Yesh lets wait for the final list. He said he will be there but he doesnt in which car but his was a month ago or so.

Kruuda´s DS3 R5 is still in the Printsport´s garage. I thought that he will drive also Arctic Lapland before Sweden, but it seems that the situation is different...
