Interesting point:
5.3 PARTICIPATION – WRC TEAM
A WRC Team;
5.3.1 Undertakes to take part in a minimum of 7 nominated rallies
including one outside Europe with a World Rally Car of the homologation number 400/01 WRC.
5.3.2 Will be eligible to score points only when there is a team
scoring points in the WRC Manufacturer Championship with
the same car homologation.
5.3.3 Will be awarded points according to Art. 3.3 of these
regulations.
5.3.4 Must pay a registration fee of €22,050 in order to score points
irrespective of the number of rallies entered.
5.3.5 Cannot nominate a driver who has been nominated to score
points in the corresponding Manufacturer Team in the same
season.
5.3.6 Must inform the FIA of the name of the driver for the purpose of
scoring points before the closing date of entries of each rally
that they want to score points.
5.3.7 For the purposes of mechanical components, a WRC Team will
be considered in the same way as a Non-WRC Manufacturer
entry.
It opens for "2nd teams" blocking points from other manus, so we get fewer situations where a driver finishes 30 mins behind on 30th place but still scores manu points for 5-6th place.
However, this:
5.3.5 Cannot nominate a driver who has been nominated to score
points in the corresponding Manufacturer Team in the same
season.
Makes it very problematic for Hyundai (and easy for Toyota with Katsuta). Hyundai would want to use Mikkelsen or Breen in the main team for Sweden/Finland/GB, this way they can't without removing the blocking option on other rallies.
TGR can use Latvala also, Loeb and Sordo can´t drive same events...Quote:

An updated Codasur calendar has been released yesterday, and it says that Rally Argentina (will also count for Codasur) has moved one week from original WRC calendar published.
This Codasur calendar should be an "official" document, but as there was no updates from WRC calendar, I don't know which date should be considered right now.
