Biggest (=largest) yes, but in terms of quality it's not very good in WRC and bad in WRC2 especially.
WRC has no "surprises" or gentleman drivers.
WRC2 with 5 cars is the weakest entry of the season besides Kenya (which got ignored). Specifically I was expecting some French guys to show up (Camilli, Bonato).
Toksport (and partly Řstberg) ran as many events as possible early to avoid Hyundai and Hyundai postponed starts to wait for new car.
So we get people fighting for championship by not meeting each other....
Both Toksport and Řstberg are going to Greece and both have to keep one slot for Japan cause the rules require one round outside of Europe. (Guess that if Japan gets cancelled FIA reduces number of points scoring events by one). Řstberg will surely want to do Finland as his extra round. At Hyundai I guess Huttunen skips Catalunya, so entry list in Spain might be like 3 cars (Solberg, Gryazin (if he goes) and Fourmaux or Suninen)
For Toksport I guess Bulacia (and his teampoints) made the decision since he will likely do better in Greece than in Ypres. Also August is holiday in Germany.
Regarding Kalle, it really is the tyres.
