Somewhat disappointing entry. Numbers wise it's the worst ever (modern era at least, not totally sure for the early years), 65 entries - so likely 60-62 will start. Also, the non-seeded drivers are 90% total tourists as even the best local 2WD drivers have mostly not entered, as pantealex already mentioned. WRC2 entry is decent but even there we are lacking the best cars, the factory Skoda's.

And what the hell are Citroën doing running Al Qassimi in the third car instead of fourth? It's like they are not even trying anymore...Lefevbre must be pissed (likely Mikkelsen as well). Seriously thinking they might quit after this season...
