    I can see VW entering now when their biggest and only rival is probably out. I say easy win and cowardly if that really happens. But it is necessary to have works teams in that class too.

    Yeah. Should be VW. But what about Toyota R5? Will they do WRC2 too? What do you say, Paavo?

    Really? How come? Is it not required to have any achievements in this sport first?

    Really? Why? To ruin the competition?

    There are no works teams in WRC2 this year and the competition is better than ever. With just 2 rounds to go there are 6 drivers with a chance for the title:

    Agreed. I think WRC2 Pro has been a definite success at the thing it was meant to do: stopping the factory teams stomping the privateers in WRC2.

    However, it has been a failure at creating a between-WRC-and-WRC2 championship worth following.

    Why to have factory teams at WRC2? Because they pay salary to young drivers.

    Not Škoda i presume

    Hyundai or citröen maybe, or some semi-factory VW team? Together with Solberg and Kristofferson?

    The WRC2 Pro was organized to milk money from Škoda. What if Škoda won't stand in the same river twice?

    I heard it was Hrabanek's idea in the first place.
