The way I understand it, this Teams championship is for WRC teams which must participate in 7 rounds with 1-2 cars. So for example Hyundai's 2C team? Kubica/Kajto team? M-Sport won't do full season? Toyota's second team for Katsuta?
A full manufacturer team must participate in all rallies with two cars.
Then again, the point of the "second teams" goes if they are not taking points from the rival manufacturer teams. Will be interesting to see which teams participate.
WRC Manufacturer entry fee is 326 000 euros
WRC Team entry fee is 22050 euros
That's some difference...
