[WRC] News & Rumours 2021

[RS]

Finally a bit more sense for the Rally2 category, and good to see a bit of coherence between ERC and WRC, afterall both are FIA championships.

Not sure of the need for the Junior sub-categories, 28/28 is pretty old these days when teenagers are jumping into Rally1 cars.

[RS]

Now, where is Rally2 Kit?

Hopefully abolished.

[Andre Oliveira]

I guess Rally2-Kit as RC2 car will be in WRC2.

[Andre Oliveira]

I think will be more or less that...

[RS]

Are junior categories a sub-trophy within their category as in ERC? Ie. will WRC2 Junior drivers compete for overall WRC2 title too?

[Sulland]

I think will be more or less that...

This would make sense, and is logical.
some of the FIA stuff, on the RC category and more is not logical to me.

What is the RC code used for, do we need it?

[Mirek]

RC is Rally Class and yes, you need it if you want to have more than one vehicle type in one class which is a common thing because homologations overlap each other in time.

Seemingly "big" plans.(or more likely Dirtfish trying to make a tiny "story" bigger).
After the disaster season in i20 R5 last year it seemed we won't hear much from him again, but the Polo starts this year certainly improved his standing a lot.
