    I guess he means RC2, that are unlogically devided into two championships. It does not make sense to the normal fan watching a rally.
    With WRC2 cars driving tachtically to get maximum points in their series.

    WRC3 is divided in the sense that half of the RC2 drivers are driving in WRC2, and that dilutes the value of both championships. You can't really say they were great championships this year.

    We have demonstrated our commitment to identifying and supporting up-and-coming talent for a number of years, having added Finnish driver Jari Huttunen to our books three years ago. “We can’t talk about rising stars without mentioning Jari,” said Andrea. “He has had a fantastic season in 2020 including the Polish title and the WRC 3 championship. We are working on Jari’s programme for 2021 and more will be known on that in due course.”

    Huttunen can not do anything else what he did this year! A weird decision by Hyundai & Adamo once again. Of course their WRC2 drivers should be Solberg and Huttunen.

    Jari showed during this year that he is better than Veiby. There is something with Even and Hyundai we do not know. There will be a big difference between Solberg and Veiby. One has a talent and an the other has money...

    It wasn't exactly a secret this year that Veiby and Gryazin bought some cash to get their WRC2 seats. And Solberg also has a pretty strong backing behind him, although it's also possible they hired him as a future prospect for the main team. Meanwhile, Huttunen is supported by only Grönholm's GRX team, who didn't have the cash to buy the WRC2 seat a year ago.

    OK, I see what you mean. But I think technically it was WRC2 that was divided, not WRC3.
    Still, considering the situation, I think that WRC3 was a good championship.

    Well I feel sorry for Huttunen as he was (again?) basically skipped for Solberg sports-wise and Veiby money/wise.

    Hope he gets a good number of drives anyway.
