so all top crews with soft tyres according to borl
The times were much slower today, however, due to the muddy conditions resulting from recent heavy rain. The Finn posted his best effort (3m5.2s) at second attempt, quite late on, with his Polo R WRC on soft-compound Michelin ‘S2’ tyres. Before him, Solberg (Ford) had led the field with a 3m6s on his fourth run. This year, only two passes are mandatory for the Priority 1 and 2 drivers, compared with four previously.
Also on soft tyres, Ogier posted a 3m7.1s on his second run, ahead of Sordo (Hyundai i20 WRC, 3m7.8s) who went 8.5 seconds better when he switched from hard to soft rubber.
Mikko Hirvonen (Ford) was fifth (3m8.3s), ahead of Hyundai’s Juha Hanninen (3m8.4s) and Thierry Neuville (3min08s5) who was the only driver to complete three passes on hard tyres. Mads Ostberg (Citroën) was ninth, behind Robert Kubica (Ford).

But current Rally2 cars will run alongside the new WRC2027 cars to begin with and WRC2027 cars will be able to compete in FIA Regional championships. We may see bigger "top class" entries on WRC...
