Okay sure but is there no financial prize? I know there's no prize drive like in JWRC. Otherwise it seems like quite a hollow championship to win. It's not like you are impressing team bosses having it on your CV.

WRC2 gets criticism sometimes but at least you have to beat someone to win each round.

WRC3 is a lame duck championship. It's not as if they're in crowd pleasing cars - and putting on a show. Most, are just trundling around.
In an ideal world the WRC3 would be for RWD or GT/ 'F2 type' cars; crowd friendly cars that put in a show after the top WRC/ WRC2 guys have been through.

Out of curiosity. Here in CZ no studs are allowed but we had a winter rally till 2006, even with WRC cars. It was never too dangerous, just stupidly slow. In fact it was very interesting to see which tyres work in such conditions and what is interesting, sometimes stock winter tyres were better option than racing ones. Also old pattern from 1980' when Barum was making competition non-studded snow tyres was brought back with a stock protector tyre - and it worked better than Monte Carlo style racing Michelin tyres without studs! Last time such conditions appeared was Prague rallysprint 2011. I was on one stage where PG Andersson with Michelin Monte Carlo tyres was 3 s/km slower than Tlusák with stock Nokians with additional cuts!

Mirek speaks wisdom!
Not only have worse conditions been contested before... There is a certain value in being able to compete in any condition on almost any road. It is half the market value of rallying.

If we did like F1 and stopped driving every time there was moist in the sky, we'd be just as hopeless. No one wants to make rally a sport of princesses like F1 is.
