The route is out, quite much new again compared to last year, only two stages have remained. Friday driven in the South end of the island, Saturday at North-West near Bastia and Sunday at Nort-East near Calvi (for the first time since 2013). And stage count is now up to 14!

only 2 guys in WRC2PRO, Rovanpera and Pieniazek but otherwise amazing WRC2 list with Camilli, Kajetanowic, Veiby, Katsuta, Loubet
and of course JWRC too.
Bonato, maybe Gryazin and especially Ciamin I would find more interesting for Corsica than Veiby or Katsuta.Quote:

This WRC2Pro turned out to be a real joke...
Andolfi was strong last year there.
Now back to Hyundai, I don't know if he will be able to be as fast.
Kajetanowicz is testing his new car with BRR in Austria. Tour de Corse will be his debut.

FIA Rule says that WRC2 numbers start from 41-Quote:

Yes it is weird that these things seem to happen every year, and it is either Monte or Corsica (or both).Quote:

Also are the permanent WRC numbers always "frozen", even if the crew is not taking part in a certain rally? I noticed that for Corsica Bertelli's permanent number 37 is used by Solans in WRC2, but Mikkelsen's number 89 is not used, it is skipped over - typical FIA "logic". Also, what constitutes a permanent number - a single entry in WRC in one rally and you can lock that number down? For how long? Idiotic system.
I truly hope that most of the drivers in WRC will continue to choose small (2-20) numbers in general, so that entry lists don't become totally unreadable. Or that the whole system is ditched in couple of seasons time.

Or alternatively, 'stupid' that they can't all do what they want.Quote:
