No, Andolfi will drive a Fabia run by Motorsport Italia. Scandola will drive a Fabia of his own team, which is Skoda Italy "works" team.Quote:

According to www.rallye-sport.fr, besides a WRC2 program, Loubet will also do some ERC events, with FFSA support.
Still no confirmation on Ciamin; he was trying to run at least 5 WRC2 rallys, after the MC RGT experience.
HONZA as clockwork, nice...
Yes, what a knockout from Honza in WRC2!
Final results of WRC2:
1. Jan Kopecky/Pavel Dresler - Skoda Fabia R5
2. Eddie Sciessere/Flavio Zanella - Citroen DS3 R5 +22:47,7 !!!
3. Teemu Suninen/Mikko Markkula - Ford Fiesta R5 +33:31,1 !!!
Not even much better if you count in Rovanperä (+5:15.3) and Burri (+13:28.9). Maybe too many WRC2 guys played it safe and decided to skip Monte. No one knows what the others are going to do before the entries are closed. Hopefully this means a tighter competition in other events.
Unfortunately they dropped the compulsory events rule so again one can fight for the title without facing your competitors, although title looks all but guaranteed for one of the Skoda guys again.Quote:

I hope he is considering to attend some asphalt event as well, if not in WRC2 in some other minor event. He is very young and some tarmac experience is what he needsQuote:

I have heard also that rumour. But to say the truth, before I have never heard about that name...
Tempestini sen. told in some interview that they are in negotiations with Citroen to do this three events with their support. And trying additional budget to do another 4 events to do a full season.Quote:

Cristóbal García 🇪🇸 start in Portugal 🇵🇹 (@rallydeportugal) and Catalunya 🇪🇸 (@RallyRACC) with Fiesta R5 @RMCMotorsport #WRC2
I just watched the one hour Monte Carlo review on BT Sport.. no mention of WRC2 at all. Great value for the manufacturers and sponsors in WRC2 :rolleyes:
Not sure why they can't even do a 5mins review in that 1hour coverage. Then do a separate 30mins/ even an hour review of wrc2 on wrc+. That would be great.Quote:

I suppose they're just ignorant enough to think that people don't care. I think in truth even for people who just happen to watch and haven't caught the rally fever yet it would add another intersting facet to know there are multiple classes and seeing where the talents come from. You could even add a little bit of JWRC whenever they're present.Quote:

Usually people around WRC (media, organisers, promoter) prefers WRC cars and factory teams. Other competitors are there mainly to bring money through entry fee...
Still they could provide some manus into lower class like Skoda. Opel could easily be there with their R2 Adam.. And let's face it it's quite boring (even for the Skoda drivers) if they compete only to ourselves. M-Sport do good for couple of stages then they are out. Others are way back. That's not called competion but a joke.Quote:

Many top pairs are on the startline.
Tidemand, Veiby, Huttunen, Abbring and Åhlin are maybe those on paper that springs to mind.
But many interesting outsiders: Adielsson, very good R2 driver, maybe this will be 4wd breakthrough?
Johann Kristofferson, multitalented driver ala Ekstrøm.
Nikara, fast as a blitz, but some times too fast...
Scandola is fast, but on Asfalt. Not sure on the white stuff
Fellow italian Tamara Molinaro are there to learn.
Will the Mirages be able to match the other R5s, or way off?
Will some of the RC2 cars take overall points this time?
I hope the RC2 cars for once get their deserved focus by wrc live, and other media!!
That's what we have the ERC for!!Quote:
