    He said he is not into the title, just experience so he will be ready for WRC seat for 2020. If not he doesn't mind if he will be in WRC2 a few more years. He isn't in rush.

    Not WRC2 Pro for sure. He can choose whether to enter for WRC2 points or not. My interptetation...

    Entering for WRC2 would make sense, even if it's only for a better starting number/position and priority in shakedown.

    Yeah, and he won’t have to play tactics on how many rallies he can collect points from, like this year probably...

    Haha, good question!

    Maybe he can win both titles?

    So no Skoda Motorsport on Monte or just Kopecky?

    Yes, that is also my idea - you can enter 7 rounds in WRC2 and 7 in WRC2 Pro and win both titles...

    8.2.1 In order to score points in the WRC 2 Pro Championship for Manufacturers, Drivers and Co-Drivers, a Manufacturer must register with the FIA before the closing date of entries of the first rally entered. Registration in the WRC 2 Pro Championships is set at €150,000. Any manufacturer registered as per Art. 7.2 does not need to pay the individual WRC 2 Pro Championships fee for Manufacturers.

    Basically this means that Skoda is paying, but Citroen, M-Sport and Hyundai wouldn't have to pay it since they're participating in the main WRC manufacturers championship? Proton or VW would have to pay as well.

    For me this sentence means that there is no real interest in WRC 2 Pro so they are encouraging some teams (mainly M-Sport, Citroen and Hyundai) to be part of it...
