Could it come from starting one rally outside Europe, which still exists in the rules? All other teams started Mexico except Citroen...

Crazy, I hope it makes FIA think a little and merge WRC2/3 for next season with a privateer cup inside if they want but the main title should be with all R5 cars in competition

Yes, but then based on points from the full Rally2 field.

Isn't the main resaon for WRC2 Pro was / is to get hefty entry fees from Manus ?

I think there should still be options for entering for WRC2 points and not entering for points, with a correlation to entry fees. Besides, I haven't seen any occasions this year where someone is not nominated for any points but is making top 5 times. In the past this was an issue, sometimes also related to well-backed drivers who had already done their maximum number of WRC2 events in a year (some drivers also tactically skipped Monte from their points)

Yes. I think the perfect solution would be

- One single WRC2 series
- Manufacturers can enter the series and nominate their drivers to collect manufacturer points for them
- Any non-manufacturer-nominated driver is a "privateer", and can collect points in a privateer cup.
- (Like mentioned in my previous post, also possible to enter a rally with cheaper entry fee, without nominating for any points)
