This entry list is insult for rallying from the point of view how they classified some of the drivers.Quote:

Ragues has FIA priority as he is 2021 FIA RGT Cup.
Yes, he has FIA priority. But it doesnt mean he must have number 6...Quote:

A bit disappointed by the number of Rally4s(2WD) though, more names were expected/among the news or rumours :(
Lot of the names were juniors. And junior championship starts from Poland.Quote:

Unfortunately Portugal never have Junior. I think that is a point to change in future (first events deserve junior).
Thats the question. First events were usually Azores and Canarias, which were more expensive than mainland races, so thats why at least one of that events always missed in junior championship. Later start of the season also give the competitors opportunity to collect the budget for the season.Quote:

Azores had junior championship until 2019.
By the way, where's the entrylist of national(portuguese)rally(should have been released today) :confused:
Friday. March 3rd.
Ragues will score points or not?
Thanks, I've read 1st march before... ;)Quote:

Weather forecast says rain all week so looks like it will be a mud bath
And the weather has been bad in Portugal for a while already, with even some snow. The testing many will have done wont be very relevant.Quote:

Surprisingly good pace from Heikkilä and Franceschi
Cais rolled https://fb.watch/ja_n9Ur0Ri/
Yes, the ones that should be in front are Breen and Ostberg, but the rest some surprises especially as you say Franceschi looks really fast. Do you know if Cais rolled in shakedown or in QS ?
I wonder if the stages have dried out as much as the QS ?
