Is Gryazin actually entered in Spain as WRC2 and scoring points?
(it seems so on the entry list)
I see him as already doing 7 "driver scoring" events, which should mean that he is not able to score points here.

Any explanation?

Was wondering the same thing but I have no answer.

Other point that interests me if someone has the answer: Toksport has hired Ingram for the WRC-2 run next year. So if the team rules remain the same, they may have to choose between Mikkelsen and Bulacia for the second car which would be a difficult pick (except if one find another team before which is not sure or if Mikkelsen do ERC only). Some news on that?

Also note that WRC3 next year is run with Rally3 cars, so most current WRC3 drivers are likely ”upgrading” to WRC2

According to Gryazin - maybe it is still possible to swap driver and co-driver. Look, what Lindholm and Hamalainen did (also Toksport). Maybe Aleksandrov "will be driver" just to try to take points from Ostberg.

No news as such yet as it all depends on Mikkelsen. He has probably done all he can to impress WRC teams but there just arent enough seats unless he brings big budget.

He has nothing more to prove in Rally2 cars and I dont see him doing another season at that level unless its just for fun.

Bulacia should continue and has a good future and one that Toksport would be sensible to keep in the team.

Reeta Hamalainen proves that she is a far better tarmac driver than Emil Lindholm and wins WRC3 category in Rally Catalunya

Kajto is second and takes the lead in the championship:

The title will be decided in Rally Monza. Both drivers should be there.

There will be a minimum of 2 Toksport run teams next year in WRC2. One may not be branded as Toksport.

If I have calculated well, in Monza:

- if one wins the WRC3 overall, he wins the championship whatever happens in the Power Stage

- if Rossel is third or lower, Kajto is champion

- if Rossel is second (and Kajto not first), it will depend on the Power Stage results (at the very least, Rossel would need 4th to take back the tiebreaker if Kajto lower than 3rd) but Kajto should probably be at least 3rd overall because he could not improve his total if lower.

The other entries may have an impact on the fight, especially Lindholm who did pretty well last year and could make the same Catalunya tricky entry.
Maybe some help from Škoda for one driver to make the entry as it is Rossel who must score absolutely because of the current tiebreaker.

It's already complicated and what happens when Rossel wins Acropolis?

Kajto cannot win the championship anymore if Rossel victory in Acropolis is validated.

Best 5 results possible with a 30-point win in Monza for Kajto: 28 + 28 + 30 + 23 + 23 = 132

Best 5 results for Rossel if his win in Acropolis is validated: 28 + 28 + 29 + 28 + 22 = 135
