After an incredibly organised rally one thing that took the shine off is holding no podium for WRC2.
There being no trophy for finishing on the podium in WRC2 or for winning the WRC2 Juniors.
P4/P5 overall got a trophy & we got rushed over the ramp. #2ndclasscitizens

Whatever the 'reasons', it's not right that after big field of Rally2 crews entered only the winner got any official recognition.
@ChrisIngramGB
We had to ask security to go stand on the podium at the end to get a photo for our sponsors.
No wonder some crews struggle for funding...

It is same from beginning. It looks like they dont know that there is junior subcategory inside WRC2... But if I understand it correctly, there was no podium/cups also for WRC2 in general (as Chris finished third). Only confirmation that everything is based only and around WRC (pardon, now Rally1) cars...

The point is they didn't get a throphy. Oprah didn't show up as promised.
It's not correct IMO, but not unusual to not give trophies. Whoever's fault it is, that WRC2 podium gets overlooked with 43 entries when Toyota NG gets one for finishing bottom of WRC Teams every round is a joke.
