I didn't want to say what is right or wrong or argue on it. I just noticed that we have different ways to see ourselves in Europe. And that map showed it. :)

Easy now... It wasn't meant in a dismissive manner. That timeline of minimum 44 years represents a huge part of the recollection many of our friends and families have of "our time" and especially in countries that have directly or indirectly been affected by the Iron Curtain 29 years won't necessarily wash it away (in spoken language atleast). But ok, back to the topic...
Let's see what the sporting regulations/calendar will be like for both series. WRC2 Pro could be potentially interesting if it's like WRC but for R5 cars (ie full calendar, all events count, maybe powerstage for R5 cars), and if more than one team enters.
I still feel it will devalue the WRC2 title and reduce fan interest in that series, but time will tell.

Glad all R5s will be the same spec, but I really hope that private entries can take points in the WRC2 Pro driver championship. If a privateer is the second R5 to finish, they should get 2nd place in 'Pro' as well as the win in 'Am' IMO.
Not wanting to use the word 'amateur' is understandable but a little tricky in this context!
Good, clear progression path for drivers though IMO:
WRCJ wins a drive in WRC2
WRC2 entrants can impress works WRC2 Pro teams
