And Monte-Carlo, a so special event, is the first rally in a championship ;)
But I guess Stéphane Lefèbvre will do everything to win most of these events though, not the same approach ;)
PS: same for Quentin Gilbert in JWRC :)

Great to see such a mix, top 5 cars has Ford, Citroen, Peugeot and Skoda.
Congratulations to PSA R5s for not breaking down this time, and to Lefebrve for the win. I didn't expect it after his performance on Janner.
Sensible drive by Breen if he wants the title.
Janner was a more or less pure snow rally this year, whereas Monte was much more tarmac now.Quote:

He will take 25 WRC3 points if he don´t retair, because he is only competitor in WRC3 (shame because R2 and R1 are also allowed in WRC3)Quote:

There is no rule that says he has to drive WRC3 and JWRC in same races, I think rule says 6 first starts in both series.
No, it´s very clever tactict.Quote:

No WRC-2 program for Kruuda this year?Quote:

Do we have a list of drivers that will do full season in WRC2?
It must be the most competitive season for a long time, Nasser confirmed back too?
Skoda plans to run #WRC2 programme. Planned to start from Portugal with the #FabiaR5. Lappi, Kremer and Kreim.
When I interviewed him few weeks back, he told that his main target for this season is WRC2.Quote:

Why? They will do ERC, at least some events. Maybe not complete as they miss quite an important part anyway.Quote:

Skoda for sure integrates "private" drivers like Loix, Baumschlager and Kremer in their plans, so maybe we should consider BRR (Baumschlager, Kremer) as a semi works team to some extent.
Thats the same like you can tell that teams of Kubica or Prokop are semi works team for Ford...Quote:

But Prokop or Kubica are surely not testing a new version of a Fiesta WRC before homologation.Quote:

Yes, like I wrote in the past, Lappi will do WRC2 this year. And maybe he will not be only one official Skoda driver in WRC2...Quote:

Well that's an interesting piece of information. From Lappi's point of view it is an obvious step forward after winning ERC title. The article goes a little bit further and suggests Lappi taking Mikkelsen place in third VW car after Mikkelsen probable move to Toyota. And one thing I didn't understand, probably because of poor google translation. What it's saying about factory team? Is it about Skoda being one in WRC2 or other plans?Quote:

I just thought that the sentence from rallye-magazin article:Quote:

could mean something more. Maybe some kind of WRC commitment from Skoda.
I think it just means a year later he could move up to the VW WRC team. When does Latvala's contract expire?
