    what was the last time a "factory team" won the erc? (I mean... is it really allowed to run a factory car in rally2/r5 in erc?) Cuz I just started to follow it and it seems to me that the winner is just a privateer in almost all the occasions.

    Works Skoda team won the title in 2012 (Hanninen), 2013 (Kopecky) and 2014 (Lappi).
    Before them, works FIAT Abarth team won it in 2009 (Basso) and 2010 (Rossetti).
    But actual works team are rather rare in ERC, national works teams like Skoda Hungary or Citroen Spain are more common.

    Like others have said it's quite rare for works teams to compete in ERC, but such situations did happen several times. An interesting example was Bruno Thiry, who was competeing in ERC 2000 with works Citroen Xsara Kit Car, but... lost the championship to Henrik Lundgaard from Toyota Team Denmark!

    Any update on the new I20 Rally2 homologation/first start?

    Saw that Adamo's target in March was 1. July.

    For WRC target is/was Rally Estonia, maybe some smaller Rally before that ?

    As br21 surely knows that's a bit of a blow to any WRC2 title challenge from Solberg/Huttunen cause in Estonia that combination with new car would be really strong.

    But as far as I understand Rally2/R5 is hard to change much after homologation so it's much better to get it right as it should be sold for a few years rather than getting it out a month or so earlier.
