Here comes this WRC2 vs WRC3 (or whatever will be those names in the future) problem - if some "manufacturer" puts their team out, pays more/extra money (compared to WRC3 entry), then they want to have some publicity, then want to have their time in LIVE-coverage, in news etc. Which is all understandable.
... and then comes some without-WRC-seat star or just some other talent driver in WRC3 entry and beat all WRC2 entries... and this is problematic for at least 2 reasons:
* WRC2 entries are a bit embarrassed maybe
* a lot of people (like most of the forum members here) start whining, why they don't show WRC3 entries in LIVE coverage (like Mikkelsen and Solberg in Monza for example)
My logic says - the more publicity WRC2 teams get, the more they want to take part of that. But some need to understand here, what is difference between WRC2 and WRC3 business, before start asking "more WRC2 teams and more live-coverage for WRC3 entries" (which are in conflict a bit).

The drivers were mostly happy with the stage and format, but the TV coverage was quite boring. We mostly saw only one junction and all the hype went around that. This stage had the legendary yellow...
