Rumor has it he will be contesting a few events in an R5, but no mention of which events.

Changes for 2018
- Shakedown tyres are not included in the tyre quota for a rally
- R5 drivers are free to choose their tyre brand
- WRC Trophy is no more, privateers can enter WRC2017 cars (as we saw Serderidis already is going for this)
- No more mandatory events for WRC2 (this season Portugal, Deutschland and Wales were mandatory)

Umm, privateers could enter 2017 cars this year, if they could afford it and the manufacturer agreed....or am i wrong?

Only a registered manufacturer could enter 2017 cars this year. Østberg was entered always under M-Sport, same for Bertelli and other privateers. In 2018 Adapta could enter Østberg, FWRT could enter Bertelli, Serderidis can enter himself. A manufacturer can only enter 6 cars per rally so theoretically we could now see more WRC2017 cars

Oh, that difference. Ok, but not a big change (if one could get his hands on that new car, he would probably be registered by manu. also, six same cars would be a wonder).

Yeah it just means teams don't have to get creative with their paperwork any more. Not a big change but good to see a daft rule removed. Good to see the Shakedown tyre thing sorted too. All quite sensible.

Was there a rule in place about this before regarding WRC2? Did you have to stick with the same tyre manufacturer across a season? Don't seem to remember that being the case.
