    Seems Bonato wasn't WRC2 Pro because his main sponsor is Igol and that's conflicting for Total..

    It may also be the case for some drivers with money that they would be best off staying in WRC2 un-pro as they may have a better chance of winning that than facing up against Rovanpera and Ostberg.

    Then we have Rally Finland winner Pietarinen doing his 2nd WRC2 outing, Huttunen is back with Skoda, Ostberg in a C3, Kalle debuting there, Veiby who is always fast on snow, Katsuta who won last year etc.

    Sweden is going to be a good one!
    This will be a Rovenpera v Gryazin battle.

    I have all faith in Kalle. He hasn't done Rally Sweden before, but a lot of snow rallying. He was also unbeatable from the get-go in Finland although he hadn't competed on Mid-Finnish roads before. Østberg will be one to beat, but I have doubts in the C3 R5 snow setup and realiability. Other WRC2 contenders will be quick, but not on the same level.

    Is it true that nobody has driven the C3 R5 on snow?

    I am very interested in Gryazin possible performance there. He will come there with tremendous mileage on snow this year - Sigdalsrally, Rally Finnskog, Rally Sarma and a lot of tests (no doubt about it). It's time for him to show what for his father has spent all this amount of money. He is quick and Sweden R5 line-up will be real benchmark for him.
    Btw I suspect Gryazin could be rally driver which in rallies and tests in 2018 have done more km's than any other rally driver in the world. If my memory serves me well his co-driver in Instagram said something about ~7700 km's... But of course it needs to be checked.

    Anyone for Emil B...

    Seriously, it´s a pity he hasn´t done any winterrallies this season. His testing I don´t know. But should be able to push for a top 5 in Rally Sweden.

    More news about him? Anyone?

    Yes, huge potential, but it's also his first WRC2 rally.
