    What if the ammount of money is fixed and he could do 2 or 3 rallies in Rally2 instead? (maybe it isn't)

    Another thing is that in WRC there sometimes isn't anyone to compare with (only comparing to top drivers can be frustrating). I guess there will be Loubet, Greensmith and Katsuta in Portugal though.

    I wouldnt be surprised if Red Bull sponsorship paid for more rounds in the WRC car after the great publicity Fourmaux gave them in Croatia.

    AF: "I’m really looking forward to experiencing this car on gravel and will work hard to learn as much as I can and really make the most of the experience. I’m so grateful to M-Sport and Red Bull for this opportunity."

    So we now have (semi) confirmed in WRC2: Østberg, Mikkelsen, Solberg, Suninen, Lappi (and Veiby).

    Basically only Huttunen and Fourmaux missing from the WRC2 "competitors". (Dunno about Gryazin)

    Nice. Let's hope punctures/technical issues don't play too big role. There will likely be some road-cleaning but then again in WRC2 leading car drives first on saturday/sunday so it should compensate first day.

    Do WRC2 have road cleaning issues? I don't remember anything like that. The road is cleaned already by 8-10 WRC cars anyway. Usually it's more about just running into stones on the road and getting punctures, so the best road position is the first WRC2 car.

    Østberg was complaining about that a few times the last two years (Sweden 2019 comes to mind), but often the position difference was large vs WRC3/other Rally2 cars.

    Nice entry list, especially in WRC 2 and WRC 3.
