yeah I missed it but still its not really true. there is always the km mark when you're suppose to change the parts and if some of it has to be changed every 100kms it's added to the rent price already. So still the €/km stays the same, your own team or the ream you rent from has taken that into count. You may be able to play it safe and swap parts more frequently but you could also do that in national rallies.

if you drive 10 national rallies ≈ 1000kms in a year is roughly same cost as 3 WRC rounds + entry fees.
So if you're doing national rallies away from home with a 100% rented car + service it could be even cheaper to run the km's in WRC rounds because of less traveling/working days.

To run whole 6-7 event season in WRC2 is of course more expensive than ERC or National championship + added rounds to get the same KMs but it's depending on what you value.

BUT I agree you guys on there that it's better to spend your yearly budget on a national rallies/ERC if you have to choose between that or 1 or 2 WRC2 outings.
