For this year WRC2 was changed from last year's WRC2Pro so that private teams can also enter.

Pluto hit the nail.

First there was a quote about Kajto being faster than PT. My answer was: there are two classes. WRC2 and WRC3. PT want to win WRC2.

Secondly, PT has no future but to drive in WRC2/3. Budget and speed are the two negativs for him. So, he want to show he can win WRC2.

WRC2 and WRC3 are series. RC2 is a class and Rally2 (previously R5) the type of car used in both.

The team bosses know how to read results and see who's the fastest RC2 car, no matter the series.

I guess WRC2 & WRC3 is about giving more teams and drivers the chance to say they won their Class or a Championship. This is what their sponsor's want to hear.

WRC2 entry fees are also higher, so it means more money coming in.

Red Grey (ex MarkkoMärtinMotorsport) is not factory team either

MSport isn´t full factory team

and in my mind Østberg is also not factory driver, PH-Sport is not factory team

Why you think Skoda should use factory team ???
