As someone who follows a lot of GT racing, I really don't get why people are upset at drivers bringing funding to works badged drives and 'customer' programmes. The factory supports the privateers who own the cars with drivers, funding and personnel - in turn, the car gets better results and the factory hopes to sell more cars. Pay driving isn't black or white; there are all sorts of levels of it.
Don't get me wrong, I hope WRC2 Pro becomes a proper second division with proper pay drivers and I'm disappointed that M-Sport won't have someone like Breen, Camilli or Evans to showcase the new car (at least on WRC events) from July, but reality is that we're still separating the teams with some works support from the drivers completely paying for their own programmes and I think that's the idea; to give the guys without factory backing something to compete for.aka Rodger Davies

Just thinking that WRC2 Pro entrants are going to have a substantial advantage in Monte Carlo by being able to run their own ice crews.
Although I'm not sure how much 'note sharing' will go on with the privateers....

Skoda Motorsport Monte preview makes no mention that Kalle will drive with a private team. Do we know who will run his car in Sweden?
Perhaps they will continue with this strategy until the new car is ready.

Anyone know why Citroen didn’t nominate Bonato for ‘pro’?
He is top R5 now.
