Wrc Tour de Corse 2015

Yes, Lappi has wasted too many points by crashing. I still believe that if Kopecký did the whole championship he would take the title instead simply because he is able to finish every round on the podium.

Yes he could have been a serious contender for sure.
At the end I put my money on Nasser, which is a bit sad because it shows the level of the field but ok, let's be positive, crashes happen, especially if you are 23/24 years old and AlAttiyah is a good driver himself.

Before the start of the WRC2 season I was really excited by the field, but in the end guys like Al-Attiyah, Protasov and Al-Kuwari (read: guys with $€€€€$$) end up on top. I guess it's down to their opportunity to go to places like Argentina and Australia, combined with an RRC car.

Personally I was hoping guys like Breen, Grondal (what happened to him!?), Parn, Lefebvre, Camilli, etc. would be capable of better results.

In rounds where they both competed against each other Al-Attiyah has 47 points against 45 for Lappi.

So Nasser has done his part so far in that sense. Okay having the ability to target the long-haul events like Australia/Mexico etc will help with points - but you still have to finish. Lappi has scored the bulk of his points against stronger opposition but that is the nature of WRC2.

It will still be interesting to watch. I just wish they would hurry up and release the entry list for Spain.

I think Lappi´s ratio speed : crashes is good enough for 24year old. In fact he didn´t crash during this year. In Sardegna he fixed it and in Germany it was just parking at wrong place without damage :D I am quite happy, because his head is improving day by day. ...And Al Attiyah is good enough, wealthy and most of all CLEVER guy. So as Roman Kresta says very often : "It is like that. That´s life" :)

It's now clear that all three Škoda drivers do Catalunya as part of WRC2. Nasser as well.

EDIT: At least it is passable which is great because Pontus has made his own WRC2 registration before Rally Sweden, so Skoda CAN use three cars all eligible to score points

sorry I didn't get the point and I don't know the wrc2's rules deeply, skoda could enter 3 cars but two of them are for works team (kopecky + lappi) and tiedeman would run only making points for himself? thanks

I agree.

Al-Attiyah would be a worthy champion too but i agree with others that WRC2 didn't quite turn out as good as the entry list looked at the beginning of the year. Maybe it would be better if not all rounds of WRC were WRC2 rounds, in order to concentrate the entry lists.

I think Lappi and Tidemand in Skoda main team scoring WRC2 and Kopecky in Skoda 2 team?
