If most good R5 crews do register a team and compete in WRC2 going forwards this will be a good thing.
We need to avoid the kind of situation we have on Rally GB where Rovanpera and Kopecky are cruising around 1-2 in WRC2Pro with a 40 minute gap to third place and the top five separated by 1.5 hours.
I’m not that hopefull. The main WRC2 series is expected to have a larger calendar, becoming more expensive to private drivers. Maybe one or two private teams/drivers (with some kind of manu support) will run run alongside the current works teams in WRC2, but the vast majority of R5 drivers will continue to run separatley (in WRC3).

This stupid split could be easily avoided with a Privateer Cup inside WRC2...
