But how many manufacturer teams we have now that are running Rally2 cars? We only have M-Sport and Hyundai. VW is not a manufacturer team and likely never will be again. Skoda just ended their program and is under the same VAG policy as VW. Citroen, I'm not sure what kind of a deal they're running with Østberg. Toyota doesn't have a car yet.
Skoda are still there, just with a different name.
And don’t you think that if Rally2 was to become the top class with resulting increase in publicity those manufacturers you mentioned wouldn’t make more of an effort?
Wet conditions.
Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
Meeke had a big gap to Rossel after stage 3 (20 sec)
at stage 4 had a puncture and now the gap to Rossel is just 2 sec
Gryazin strangely slow,anybody now why?...
I think we saw this one coming, didn't we?
