Including the fact that the cost of a Rally3 JWRC campaign is 25% higher than the Rally4 era, I’m not sure we will see an increase in the number of drivers in JWRC in the future.
For me, sounds interesting only if the JWRC campaign is already a prize drive (like the winner of the ERC4 Junior championship).

The fact that Pajari will use a Toksport’s Rally2 Skoda in Sardinia is quite relevant.
Maybe it’s to avoid a Bergkvist-like move when they gave a Rally car for the JWRC winner but I’m not really convinced for a young driver, except one very short of budget that won the JWRC campaign as a prize of a lower category.
A pity because the car is rather good looking at the times.

Yes, I believe that Fiesta Rally2 is biggest reason why Pajari did take Rally3 season as prize.

What happened with WRC3 leader Dominguez, did he not start at all today? Car trouble?

ECU problem.

Maxine Wahome won WRC3 despite retiring, is this a WRC first?

In other WRC3 news, Mcrae Kimathi is now 2nd in the Open championship yet is 6th in Juniors. Looking at the Estonia permutations, small chance my head could explode.
