Who has won many ERC events in the last 10 years then gone on to success in WRC2 ? Very few... even most ERC Champions haven't. They didnt have experience to fight against guys who have done them for years.

If a young driver has serious ambitions and financial backing, doing some WRC makes sense more than ever.

If you will go opposite, you will see plenty of drivers who went to WRC/WRC2 too early and failed as they were not ready to fight on this level. Then they step down back to ERC/national championships and started to go higher again. If a young driver has serious ambitions, he should primary learn how to drive the car, how to make the setup, how to fight for win, how to fight with drivers on similar level. Only learning stages is not enough...

Young drivers arent expecting to win WRC2 events but they gain the experience of the rallies while learning.

Back to Max McRae. He's mainly doing BRC so can use that for gaining speed and fighting to win more. His WRC2 events are a bonus and will have more future value to him than doing some ERC events.

It will also show everyone the difference in pace between the BRC & WRC!
