That's 4 rivals. Then Skoda in WRC2 had a blast of a car, nobody could match it for a few years and maybe a huge roll too when there were no other works teams also there. (I don't count M-Sport because they have development drivers or just part seasons). And again at the VW. They claim ''diesel scandal'' and build new reg polo, ditch it and instead put millions of euros at the ID.R and break the record straight away again without matching rivals. Now Skoda is apparently moving out. Just after there are many of other R5's (Polo, i20, C3, Fiesta, Iriz) and Yaris coming, new i20 with works team support and two drivers.

    I'm not against them, just want to see the real fight and see if it is really that dominant. Look how Hyundai struggle to get the title but they are not ''cowards'' and I believe they will achieve it.
    Sir, You clearly don't work in a global company Please try to understand that it's not the motorsport department who has the word in strategical planning and that bravery has no value in the decision making process.

    VW didn't leave because of some fictional fear of the compatition but because of pressure of its own labor union in a situation when twenty thousand employees were about to be fired.

    Škoda, if it leaves (that's not clear now), doesn't leave because of fear of competition. Why should they fear anything? They won IRC, ERC, WRC2 and WRC2 Pro against Abarth, Peugeot, Citroën, M-Sport, Hyundai, Proton or in short everyone who stood against them through the years. They couldn't defeat someone who was not present. Maybe simply after a decade the marketing value of the continuos rule isn't that big anymore. Add to that the massive pressure on electrification which is a very real thing inside VAG...

    There is only 5 entries and even that 5th place is enough for Loubet no matter what Guerra does. (Probably all 5 will not even start)
    From the last rumours - Guerra, Bulacia and Andolfi are not coming to Australia, so the number of competitors in WRC2 drops down to just 2.

    If Skoda pull out their entry for Kopecky, then the number of competitors in WRC2 Pro will be reduced to 0.

    Kopecky was on entry list only in case of "not good enough" result in Catalunya. So he will not start in Australia too.

    Sad to see Loubet is the WRC-2 winner with a better budget and most rally entries than Kajto or Gryazin...

    Kajto has 7 starts
    Gryazin has 7 starts

    Loubet has 6 starts but is points leader

    For me Loubet is right champion.

    WRC2 Pro & WRC2 2019

    Loubet also the only one with two wins. No retirements either. Deserved title I say.

    Loubet is driving the rallye du condroz this weekend. I have to say i'm not exactly impressed by his times.
