If you are a driver who is looking to move to the top WRC class then WRC2 is good for learning the roads and getting noticed. If you are a manufacturer or sponsor it is virtually useless.

IRC/ERC also has a good record of drivers who have progressed onto the top level.

ERC and WRC2 has its pluses and minuses. But to be fast or "champion", knowing the roads is not the most important thing. You should go step by step and learn how to fight for seconds in rallies, how to fight for win in overall classification, when there is big pressure to you. In WRC2 you are sometimes (most usually) hidden and it is not only about the speed, but mainly about reliability.

Yes, I think that is why IRC had such a good record creating future stars, because there were often big, close fights at the front of the field.

Also, IRC and ERC have a better balance of surfaces that WRC2.

And also ERC is cheaper, so you can do more events or you can do more tests before the race. And there is more service areas and shorter distances between services, which suits better for R5 cars...

Depends on how much money you want to invest. Nobody will tell you exact prices (I think), but usually WRC2 event is at least 1/3 more expensive. But it is also difficult to compare ultra-expensive Monte, where you must spend lot of money where you need to have both suspension for tarmac and snow, same like for tyres etc. For example, normal crew can do 2 ERC rounds comparing to one Monte...
