WRC2 / WRC3 News & Rumours 2022

[Danny0405]

Good win for Hyundai in Suninen in WRC-2 after the late loss in Portugal. And Lindholm gives a good fight to them. Still think it will be complicated for them for the Open title but Lindholm has clearly taken a good option for the Junior title with Gryazin out for both titles after his shakedown mistake.
Also Pajari interesting for a second WRC RC2 outing before his mistake.
And Hyundai has taken a good option for Team title all the more than TokSportII team result are not good enough to try some tricks (if I’m right, Belgium will be last European round for Toksport 1 team as they were registered in Portugal but made 0).

In WRC-3 Open, Joona has won easily but the situation is a bit more complicated to understand: the WRC regulation in French is talking about a 5-out-of-6 championship but in English, it is translated in ... 4-out-of-5.
If 4-out-of-5, it should be between Joona and Cerny (as Pajari as already made five rounds) and could be very close call if Cerny wins in Belgium (where he should considering the competition), it could be a tiebreaker in the end with Joona winning in Greece (with no Pajari, Armstrong or Virves in Open) and Cerny in Catalunya.
