Let's make some order in it. What made me confused and angry is:

1) During the last 2-3 years, WRC 2 was mainly for teams. FIA and Promoter wanted to encourage manus, but failed to some extent. We had Hyundai and M-Sport (both didn't need to pay 100k) and a lot of Toksports, PhSports etc. Of course, driver/co-drivers standings were much more prestige than Toksport winning with Movisport

Toksport, Movisport, Sainteloc etc decided to enter and collaborate with two or more drivers. If they wanted drivers to pay partly this 10k fee was up to them. There wasn't any fee from FIA for drivers/co-drivers. But the main rule was, that even if you wanted to be able to score only for drivers/co-drivers, you had to be entered by registered team.

So two ways were created: Being entered by team who is willing to be in teams' table or being able to score driver/co-drivers points and give a shit on teams' table. Second way was the option taken by Ostberg and Linamae. Both had to pay 10k euro for one car.

2) In WRC 3 (where the number of crews was significantly bigger than in WRC 2) you could enter only as a name of driver/co driver

3) The most important: After merging WRC 2 and WRC 3:
a) Saintelocs, Toksports, PHSports etc still pay 10k, but they are in the teams' table and can ask drivers to participate in that cost. Drivers need to pay additional 3k euro for Open (WRCStan - open is like WRC 2 for everybody. Junior or Master can win WRC 2 Open)
b) Those who give a shit for teams' table can still pay 10k euro. Plus additional 3k euro for Open.
c) Those who were paying 3k euro last year in WRC 3, need to pay 10k euro (for nothing unless they find a friend to make a team ) and 3k euro for Open.

As I said. Last year everybody had a choice. WRC 2 or WRC 3. Now we have only one category for Rally2 cars, so forcing privateers to pay 13k euro (10k for nothing) is a bit unfair. And if final regulations really say this, it's outrageous in my opinion.

Long story short. Instead of forcing guys from my point c) to do what guys from point b) has done in 2021, they should do other way. So: If you collaborate with big team like Toksport, team will pay 10k, driver will pay 3k (I am sure FIA add this 3k for Open just to avoid Toksport, Sainteloc etc to split cost between X drivers). If you are on your own but want to register team: for example Adapta from Mads Ostberg, then you also pay 10k + 3k. But if you want to be Mads Ostberg and just score point in drivers/co-drivers then you should be able to pay only 3k euro for Open.
