    As shown in Monza WRC3 already gets close to zero publicity no matter RC2 and overall standings. The only publicity was that their podium got shown...after all other podiums. So not much of a difference.

    No. A good championship is where everyone goes against everyone in every round, not an artificially divided series like this

    "WRC2 registered Drivers can enter additional rallies as Priority 2 without scoring points"

    so that means WRC2 drivers gets "TV time" also from those events where they aren´t driving for points.

    We must remember that when Rally2 (car type!) driver is entered outside WRC2/3 (s)he must start after all Priority drivers, JWRC and R-GT drivers are priority drivers.

    WRC3 was working pretty well, it is WRC which is totally broken/ menaningless (from day 1) ...
    usually u have to pay to get exposure, that's why you do championships...you can race outside with pro and cons.
    don't know if wrc3 helped anyone get sponsorships. seems to me that's more the driver looking for money to enter the championship than people with money calling driver to use it.

    It sounds like a good idea but imagine how that Will look.

    "Here comes the leading WRC2 driver that doesn't score any points"

    So when Allive TV/does reports/interviews and have time for only one driver whom will they pick? The leading one or the "leading points" one. Who do they invite on press conferences, etc. etc.

    Then goes the interviews with the "leading points" driver: " You are 20s behind the leader..."
    " No I am winning..."

    Totalt no chance for any confusion (for casual viewers and sponsors), arguments about who is faster(the points scorer has no reason to fight with the non-scoring one) or various arguments about who should get publicity.

    -----
    Btw. as a sidenote the reason why Rally2 gets more focus now is that in WRC there are with MSports decline basically 6 cars from 2 manus that compete at the moment, often 1-2 retire or lose a lot of time and you are down to maybe one or two position fights for most of the rally.
    In Rally2 on European rounds you get 30-40 cars out of which 6-10 are reasonably competetive and often for 3-4 manufacturers.

    Solberg and Veiby driving for Hyundai's WRC2 team next year.

    Where does this leave Huttunen?

    Solberg will be joined in Hyundai’s WRC2 line-up by Ole Christian Veiby, while Jari Huttunen is part of the manufacturer’s plans again, though his program is yet to be defined.
