Very weak, yes. But at least a duel for 2nd position in ERC.

Not terrible considering the championship is over.

A Luky - Sirmacis duel should always be interesting and I'm curious to see how Griebel and Gryazin will do.

See? That's part of the problem. If Belgian drivers were competing in the ERC, the number of R5 cars would have been higher

No. Ypres had 27 R5s. Problem is that some rallies attract good entry list. Others don't do that at all. But still they stay in the championship.

But look - organisers are happy and consider this entry list one of the best ever:
"A total of seventy two crews are on the entry list for this year’s rally. A list comprised of the most important names of the European, Middle East and Cypriot rallying scenes, making it one of the most important entry lists we ever had."

I guess everybody has their own point of view
