Except some confusion with entries (Team/Driver, only Team/only Driver), WRC 2 is nice option for the crews - and this is my point of view. Opportunity for crews, not an easy life for statistics. Probably smaller team can even make an agreemennt with crews to split this fee into them. Lappi could be an example.

Are they testing old and new car back to back, so they get data and drivers input on same stage with same driver? Same with drivers with different preferences of settings, so they get a car that will work effectivly for most drivimg styles?

Where in Sweden are they testing now?

What Breen’s taken from the newest Rally2 car

He's one of few drivers to have tested the Hyundai i20 N Rally2. What does Craig Breen think of the R5's successor?

This is not necessary not the best way. You need many different drivers to develop, so you get a flexible car, that responds well on setup changes. Otherwise you can end up as the Cit C3, both WRC and R5.

As far as I can tell C3 R5 works fine.

One main development driver and a validation test with someone else here and there is pretty much common way of doing things I think. The reason is that few drivers are able to give the engineers an efficient feedback ("I don't like it" really isn't helpful for anything) and a fast driver doesn't mean the same as a good development driver.

With the French cars the issue was usually in the fact that their world used to be somewhat less driver-centric and was more engineering oriented, i.e. they sometimes tend to choose solutions which are much better in theory than they turn to be in the real life with a real guy behind the steering wheel. That doesn't mean it can't work - it often does but such car is usally not very easy and friendly to drive.

So far Huttunen and Tänak have also tested the new i20 N Rally2.

After Østberg spend a year working on it on gravel it finally can also drive on gravel. So not a very good example to use tbh.

In the same year, when Ostberg was struggling with it, Luykanuk won majority of gravel stages in ERC. It could have been problematic but far from being bad.
