    Yes, but I don't get the concept of WRC2 anymore. Basically anybody who pays the entry fee can be a WRC2 competitor these days?

    I would say, you need register the team. But not sure now if registration with two cars is necessary.

    I'm sure something must have changed. In the previous years there were just 3-4 crews competing in this championship.
    (but I didn't bother to check what it was)

    Camilli after an excellent Rallye Monte-Carlo 2020 where he won the class and conquered a ninth overall position, competed only in Sardinia where he had to retire.

    The test driver will have the opportunity to redeem himself in this championship.

    At the moment we do not know what PH Sport, currently engaged in the Dakar, or Mads Ostberg, reigning WRC2 champion will do.

    Before, WRC2 was for registered teams and their drivers, WRC3 was for rest of drivers. But now, WRC3 is "beginner class" (there are some rules about who can drive), and WRC2 is now for registered teams (both factory and private) and also for individual private drivers.

    So they took concept of last year's WRC2 and they expanded it with "experienced" drivers with no team.

    Hope I managed to explain it to you.

    - Until 2018 WRC2 was just a single championship for RC2 cars.
    - In 2019 it was split to WRC2Pro and WRC2. WRC2Pro was for manufacturer teams.
    - For 2020 WRC2Pro was renamed to WRC2 and WRC2 became WRC3. At the same time WRC2 became open for teams, not just manufacturers (like Toksport instead of Skoda, PH Sport instead of Citroen etc)
    - For this year, WRC3 had some restrictions on who can start but I don't see any changes for WRC2 itself.
    - Also, WRC3 in 2020 or WRC2 in 2019 was never automatically for "rest of drivers", since it has always been possible to start without running for any championships.

    Maybe FIA/Promoter decreased the entry fees for WRC2? Or more drivers just gathered budget throughout 2020 for this year? Also several drivers ugpraded from WRC3 to WRC2.

    All entry fees have remained the same as far as I can tell from the 2021 FIA WRC Sporting Regulations.

    After Toksport success in 2020, teams started to see that any team can be "World Champion" and not only a manufacturer.
