Rovanperä does Mexico, Argentina, Finland, Wales and Spain. Also MC and TDC on a private car. Nordgren and Rovanperä will split the APRC season. Tidemand hints slightly he has other plans for the end part of the season.

Didn't Pontus drive the WRC Fiesta when he was under contract with Skoda?

No. Last time he drove a Fiesta WRC was 2014 and he joined Skoda 2015.

I meant that partly as a joke, as he win WRC2 Win is win, you know...

This year there will be probably more WRC2 competitiors with the same thought, i think also in Mexico and Argentina.

Now there's no more mandatory events so hopefully it means there will be more competition in every event. Now half of everyone's season was fixed to the mandatory events so it was quite easy to pick events with not much opposition.
