    "Prefer to pay for young prospect'
    Don't think so....

    It was nice to see a retro Castrol-Toyota livery last year but this is cool. Would love to see it on that Rally2 version of the GR Corolla that was quietly rolled out at the recent Tokyo Auto Salon…

    Of course, but my point is; what conditions make that feasible in Portugal? The BRC to its credit is enjoying a bit of a boom compared to recent years - without it being overhyped to disappoint or being a one-year wonder. It would be great if they can keep that going and perhaps tempt someone of Meeke’s stature to the championship.

    I totally agree, it would be great. But sadly the sport here just isn't at the level that it is in Portugal to give a return on a high investment.

    TBH we're really lucky that we have M-Sport, and now Castrol, willing to put the money in to run a couple of actual Teams

    Did Creighton swap teams because there was no progression or prospect of another wrc2 campaign with m-sport or have castrol came up with a more attractive package and car?

    For the East Riding Stages I make it an entry of 41 Rally2/R5 Cars in total and 20 in BRC.

    It'll be interesting to see how the different makes compare with Citroen vs Toyota vs Ford vs Hyundai and some of the top guys having swapped cars for 2025.
