    Best scenario in Turkey would be 1.Tidemand 2.Kopecky
    Both would have 118 points from 5 rallies.

    And Kalle will drive Wales and Catalonia for sure. Australia is still open, probably not.

    True but starting position would be very bad.
    Doesn´t sound like a good plan.

    It’s a shame Evans doesn’t dig a bit more in order to know if these alleged R5+ idea is coming from the FIA or from certain manus. Anyway, it can make sense to have a privateer or junior cup in WRC2 but there’s no real need for a R5+ category.

    Drivers like Lappi or Suninen have proved that the gap between R5 and WRC ‘17+ cars isn’t a problem for those trying to reach the top and with so many concerns about WRC cars speed it’s not hard to believe they will be somehow restricted on a near future.

    Besides, it’d be quite complicated to restrain R5+ cars only to WRC2; most likely manus would pressure the FIA to extend them to regional and national series, destroying the leveled field currently existent in most of them.

    Definitely, R5+ is not a smart move in the current rally situation.

    I mostly meant it the other way around. Petter's pace in rally is a big unknown atm.

    Then again it would surely create publicity and if he is slow it's always possible to blame him and not the car. There certainly is a possibility that he will be fast (unlike Kristofferson).

    Like i already mentioned in another subject, VAG, including VW motosport ventures have usually been up there from day 1. It was also claimed, that they have sold already 100 cars. So probably not worried about R5 marketing...good publicity on the otherhand is worth even more.

    Where he tested? It's Carpathian mountains ? Why Polish championship did't have rally in this region?

    Yes, it was in the Carpathian mountains. There is no rally there, but maybe you like hillclimbing?

    At Skoda, there is crucial result on Turkey. We will see, which events (and if) their drivers do later...
