Seems like some serious money is getting poured into WRC2 this year from most manus but also privateers. Not like it's something new though, back in 2016-2017 Skoda was testing more than some WRC manu teams.
This year:
Hyundai developing new car. Veiby did like 4 snow rallies before arctic and Solberg also did one. Now Veiby did test rally in Portugal.
Gryazin got 2 "testing" rallies and a test before Croatia, before that also testing rally before Arctic.
Řstberg "testing" rally the weekend before Croatia then a development test right before recce taking new dampers with him to the rally. Now another development test a week later.
Mikkelsen had 3 day test before Croatia.
and then you have people like Lappi and Suninen who get 1-2 day test at best.Last edited by mknight; 3rd May 2021 at 11:57.

How much of that effort comes from the teams' desire to develop the car? How much comes from the backing of the drivers to make sure they are better than their rivals? I could see Veiby, Solberg and Gryazin being able to test as much as they want. Östberg and Mikkelsen probably have also some development work with the team, and also the Hyundai guys when they are developing the new car.

Well off course it's not like the they use all the money "just" to get good results in WRC2.
At the same time they adapt the development and related testing so that it fits. Like the Řstberg test right before Croatia and Hyundai basically keeping their drivers from starting/getting points (Solberg in Croatia and Monte), just so they can collect points with new car.
Main point was that there is a significant amount of money directly or indirectly being used in the category.

Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
