If you are on your own but want to register team: for example Adapta from Mads Ostberg, then you also pay 10k + 3k. But if you want to be Mads Ostberg and just score point in drivers/co-drivers then you should be able to pay only 3k euro for Open.
Indeed that would make most sense, there are a lot of Rally2 drivers who now either need to put up a bunch of money for an entry or switch to Rally3. Otherwise the championship structure actually makes sense and also the fastest Rally2 car will win instead of the weird WRC2/3 split we had. Sure you can then make subdivisions for juniors/seniors and thats fine, rookie cups are a thing in many series and they work fine.

I still see another big problem and that is how events are selected. As I understand you compete in 7 and the best 6 count. With 13 rounds on the calendar that means it could be an indirect title fight. To me that's quite bad and uninteresting. It would be better to have a limited selection, and especially the last 3-4 rounds for WRC2 or 3 should be fixed and mandatory so we have a proper on-road fight. Also it would be good to split rallies between WRC2 and WRC3 as possible to allow them to get some nice coverage on TV and so on.
