WRC2 Pro & WRC2 2019

Greensmith hasnt done much wrong and has the right attitude of aiming to be fastest R5 driver regardless.

In Sweden he was quite out of the pace and also in the snowbank.

That attitude could also harm him. How stupid would it be to crash trying to set the fastest R5 times while being the only WRC2Pro car?

I give up.

Anyone who want to make it to the highest level can't settle for slow and reliable.
If you are the only wrc pro car, your only goal should be setting as much fastest times as possible.
In 30 year we will only see the names of the championship winners in the lists, but the team managers of today see more than that.

If you want to be in a wrc car, you have to be consistently the best and fastest of the rest.

Yeah, maybe the young drivers are considering that it's better to show good pace and not care about the WRC2 Pro points. Probably the team also has their input on the approach.

As long as they don´t pay for themselves. I.e. private funding should make them a bit careful...

I disagree with that sentiment, I thought he was correct to compete with Bonato in Monte Carlo and that was a well earned RC2 victory. Coming 5th in RC2 but top 'Pro' car isn't going to endear him to any works teams for the future as all it proves is that there are four drivers quicker at that event. However, proving he can finish and bring home points in a snow event would arguably have been more valuable in Sweden, but don't forget that's only his first or second ever time on that surface in a 4WD.

This is WRC trophy again. Rovanperä is Gorban, being fastest but crashing, and Pieniazek is Serderidis, slowest but picks up wins where no one else finishes

When no-one else starts!
