If it’s true top factory teams are spending 60-70m euros on WRC, I am not surprised Skoda board would be sceptical to change their current strategy, which as you pointed out is profitable and can be used in WRC2, APRC, ERC, national championships..
Shame because it seems pretty obvious they would do a much better job now than their previous spell in WRC.
It's been said that a Lancia Rally2 will enter WRC2 in 2026.
Is it possible one could also be run in ERC ? And him being Italian, maybe Mabellini could be the driver ?
Toyota isnt a factory team in WRC2, Solberg is run by Printsport.
I'm sure a top WRC2 driver would be happy to take his place there. Moving from a Skoda or Citroen wasnt a problem for Solberg.
It´s time to decide the winner, or most pointscoring driver...
