Wrc2 2016

[Rallyper]

Some type of crowd funding or investment challenge is on for Emil Bergkvist. Saying he needs to drive this year in WRC2 and all possibilities for a seat in WRC in 2017. But still short of funding for full rest of season 2016. Have a look yourself at

Anyone know whether the 30 minute WRC2 highlights programme we were promised actually exists and if so where and when it is screened?

after Portugal we have 41 different drivers who have started in WRC2 this year.
(Scandola in Sardinia will be 42)

Some info about this Kruuda/Pärn swap. Pärn's father says that you have to ask Dmack about it. Yesterday Glenn Patterson didnt comment on this and said that there will be some more info on friday. But today Patterson has made a comment to estonian newspaper that Kruuda will do Sardinia and maybe two more rounds because they have new gravel tyres out and they believe that he has the speed to help to develop them further.

Basically they did the same thing as Red Bull did with Kvyat/Verstappen

Was there any special reason for Parn running with Jarveoja in Portugal?
James as his co-codriver last season, right?

[EstWRC]

The reason was that Kruuda said that he will skip this season and then Pärn took his co-driver but all has changed now. Cormack confirms today that Kruuda will do Sardinia, Poland and Finland and the reason for this is that Pärn was just slow.

Yikes. I guess Dmack have finally run out of patience with Parn then.

Ptaszek is "co-driver" in NesteRallyFinland (not a mistake in entries, he was driver before yesterday)

Reason: max number of events in WRC2 is 7 and he is driving 13 (missed Portugal), so probably he is listed as co-driver in 6 events.

and yes according to rules co-driver can drive but the one who is listed as driver will get drivers points. Rendina did same stunt previous year.

It will be interesting to see does he have more drivers or co-drivers points at end of year (and of course wise wersa for Szczepaniak)
