WRC2 / WRC3 News & Rumours 2022

[PLuto]

so in WRC3 you can drive only in WRC3J and not for WRC3Open (Junior has 8 entries in Sweden, Open only 4)
is that same allowed in WRC2 also ?
That way driver could drive for some points in every rally.

RallyGuide2 for Sweden says it's part of WRC3 Teams championship, 0 entries according to entry list ... (no WRC3T marked to any)

You cannot do WRC2 Junior and not WRC2 Open.

It looks like you can do WRC3 Junior and not WRC3 Open. For me this is strange (or maybe better to say crazy).

WRC3 Teams championship is brand new thing, almost nobody expected it before. And in fact, it is mainly waste of money...

The perspective is a little bit different between WRC-2 and WRC-3 Junior as you can choose completely your calendar in WRC-2J whereas the calendar is fixed in WRC-3J
Still, I agree the situation is not good: the entries in WRC-3J should automatically be registered in Open with free entry fees.

Automatic enrolment doesn't help sell JWRC3J, thus the exception, I was wondering if the Juniors doing WRC3 Open plan to do off-Junior rounds. Pajari has already won Monte; Joona Finland (?), Mcrae Kenya (?), Creighton needs Open for WRC3 Teams (?)?

Maybe Open doesn't come for free, I saw Jon Armstrong appealing for funding recently, if he is doing another round(s) he is fine for funding. If WRC3 Open was free he would have done it here. The Greek and Estonian entries include home events so is the same case.

Anyway, I'm glad you guys are either confused or disapproving, and it's not just me. Another little input of craziness is M-Sport and WRC seem to be sticking with JWRC branding yet you don't find those 4 letters even once in the FIA regs.

Jos Verstappen, father of Max, plans to start in selected rounds with C3 Rally2.

In WRC2, interesting? I read that he will run two events of the BRC (Belgium)

News regarding Verstappen was like "maybe also WRC2 starts"

[dupanton]

He will do rallies in Belgium, The Netherlands and the WRC. He bought 3 C3's + 1 Fabia (rumoured). Tested several times already, so I think he will be driving a lot.
