    I heard today that the one overseas round in WRC2 is now prescribed and no longer a free choice.

    Crews have a choice of New Zealand or Japan. These have been chosen as they have the best support package available.

    Not sure if this is completely accurate but this is what I heard.

    The Finnish motorsport magazine Vauhdin Maailma said that Solberg and Loubet are Skoda's supported drivers in 2020 and the team will return in 2021.

    It’s a bit disappointing that just as Hyundai step up their WRC2 programme Skoda step back, but maybe they would rather not compete as a team when their driver lineup is a bit unproven. Hope they do indeed return in 2021 as the above news suggests. New Fabia road car coming in the first half of next year so maybe they will have some new car to test/promote then.

    New upgrades on the i20 seems to be a major step up towards the top of RC2 speed.

    Kajto wants to continue competing in WRC2/WRC3, but he is going to miss Monte Carlo and Sweden. He's still wondering what car to choose. He has recently been testing Fiesta R5 and Fabia R5, Polo R5 is also a possibility.

    So, 2 WRC3 crews fighting for WRC3 win ahead of 2 WRC2 crews fighting for WRC2 win; they’re using the same cars, why not having 4 crews fighting for a single Rally2 category? It’s a shame to continue with this stupid WRC2/WRC3 split.
