Wrc2 2018

[AnttiL]

I didn't realize earlier, but removing mandatory WRC2 events is a benefit for Rovanperä, as he can now challenge for the title with the 6-7 events he can do next year. Not saying he's yet able to beat Tidemand or Kopecky or even Veiby, but it must give motivation.

EDIT: If I'm correct Kalle can drive in Mexico, Argentina and Finland before turning 18, and after that Spain, Wales and Australia. That's only six events though, whereas a seventh could be spared for a bad result.

Do we know other Škoda driver's programs for 2018?

Also, despite the rumors there's Michelin logos on Kalle's overalls, not Pirelli.

Tidemand says he starts the season with Skoda. I can't help but see the emphasis on the word start. Maybe he continues with the Polo R5 in the autumn?

There are talks about Tidemand doing (planning to do would be more precise) 3 with Fiesta WRC.

Good luck to the rest taking on Škoda in 2018 !!

Yeah I noticed this too. Feels like Skoda have too many drivers, so a partial season for Tidemand could make sense I guess.

A WRC2 season is 7 events per driver, so they can rotate. Most likely 2-3 drivers per rally.
