His lack of WRC rallies experience could be important.

Am I mistaken for understanding the WRC2 Pro rules? Again. I thought two cars needed to be entered for each team/manufacturer? Guessing I'm wrong, seeing as it looks like Greensmith and Bonato are only announced. Or are we just waiting on confirmation of Camilli and Lefebvre to join them?

Yeah, it's not so difficult to be at the top of WRC2. Kubica was world champion in his first season and this year Kajetanowicz was faster than most WRC2 private regulars despite having zero experience in WRC rallies.
So good luck to Gryazin, he has the required skills!

Well, he is doing better now, only one crash this year (https://www.ewrc-results.com/profile...kolay-gryazin/) is ok, I think, considering how many rallies he had.

Yes, you need to consider "crash per stage km" ratio. Gryazin did this year over 9k stage kms (rallies and tests combined) so his start/finish ratio looks really good. You can't compare number of his crashes with someone who drove some national champs with limited tests, so some 1/10 of kms he did.

Other examples: Safari specialist Ian Duncan winning Safari 1994 in works Toyota. Mats Jonsson winning Sweden 1992 and 1993 with Toyota Sweden (only Sweden entered in '92, Sweden and RAC in '93)...
