I’ve been saying it since day 1: there was no real need for a split in WRC2. The FIA could easily run a Private Cup inside the WRC2 calendar, with only 5 or 6 European rallys. Besides they should also get back to mandatory events, just like in JWRC, in order to have the main competitors runing the same events.

As if WRC2 and WRC2Pro weren't complicated enough...now the WRCPlus review shows the results in a combined list, which has no relation to the points that would be awarded for such results

I don't even understand who is in WRC2 Pro, normal WRC2 and completely outside of WRC2. Judging from https://rally-base.com/2019/rallye-m...02&ssGroupId=1 Bonato should be in WRC2 Pro?

Bonato was originally entered for WRC2Pro but changed at the last minute to WRC2

They are newbies in this whole thing. Just give them time I'm sure they will ruin even more.

Maybe they were embarassed by the two car leaderboard separated by twelve minutes?

WRC2/Pro footage on the daily highlights programme was still apalling :(

If the rally ended in the current result, de Mevius would be the fastest WRC2 car, but slower than Greensmith, the fastest WRC2Pro car. Would de Mevius get 25 or 18 points? The way I have understood the rules, Rovanperä would get 18 WRC2Pro points and de Mevius 25 WRC2 points, but I have just started to question myself with everyone listing the results together and Greensmith keeping with high speed throughout the rally...

You understand correctly. No need to question yourself ;)

I believe Bonato is still leading WRC2, despite the puncture, and both winners get max points, as WRC2 and WRC2 Pro are separate series. The combined WRC2 classification is not official and was probably made up to avoid humiliations, like RS suggested. It only makes sense to gather all R5 crews under the RC2 classification, which must also include N4 cars (although there’s none in MC).

Btw, the confussion is so big that even on Greensmith FB page there’s a WRC2 top 10 chart including non WRC2 R5 drivers, like Sarrazin, Katsuta and Burri…

expected more from Katsuta
