If Huttunen is driving with Printsport in Sweden, I guess we can put a fork in Hyundai's works R5 programme? They've been conspicuously quiet about it since the end of last year.

They just need to put Paddon in first car and maybe Breen in second, since Ostberg is linked to Citroen and Skoda. (VW).

This is completely not true. Managers of the teams are not stupid and they are closely following lot of championships including national ones. And they are not following only results, but also performance, behaviour, brain... To impress managers, it is not so important to do WRC2 or JWRC, especially if you are not ready enough for it. There is plenty of drivers which were in focus on the managers in their performance and their big step to WRC events, when they were not ready enough for it, made their situation in the eyes of managers much worse.

PWRC was the equivalent of the WRC2 and an official support championship to the WRC while the IRC was a private venture of Eurosport. Same machinery was used in both (a mix of S2000, gr.N and R4 cars).
It sitll works to some extend but moved to a lower level - the works teams take quite a lot of drivers from ERC, especially junior drivers and put them into their R5 cars to see their potential in WRC2 - rather than taking guys from JWRC. In fact it's all about the competitive level - European U27 and U28 have had higher competitive level than JWRC just like in its time IRC had higher competitive level than PWRC.
If one day some guy comes into ERC and beats Lukyanuk on all eight events you can be sure he will go into some WRC team at least for a test.Last edited by Mirek; 13th January 2019 at 15:15.
