I thought Ingram had a two year (2022-2023) deal for WRC2 without having to worry about crashing

The deal means the odd bump is ok but the car was wrecked in Greece in 2022 and he had to pay some cash to Toksport. This has compromised his 2023 unless he can raise some more sponsorship money.
“The insurance excess was also a kick in the teeth, despite it being my first crash in about six years. I don’t budget for these things. My funding comes 100 per cent from sponsorship, and the funding is solely for us to go and compete on rallies. But these are the risks you’ve got to take if you want to be competitive at WRC level.”Last edited by Fast Eddie WRC; 19th December 2022 at 13:21.

It would be funny if Mikkelsen at last moment would enter WRC2 Monte Carlo in some private team (maybe in ''old'' Skoda) and win this as Monte-Carlo is one of his favorites rallies and he is super fast there

Summary:
- Very difficult situation financially speaking for Huttunen, really hard to find money for a WRC2 program
- his career is really at stake
- he is in vicious circle with results not good enough to attract backing and difficult to make good result with low backing
- they (through Gronholm) have tried for testing jobs at Hyundai and Toyota but both have replied they have what they need

FIA rally ladder doesn't work? WRC closed its door, WRC2 champions don't walk into top-level seats, there is no right of passage, achieving success at one level does not guarantee you the opportunity to move up to the next, no Rally1 drive waiting under the Christmas tree, not enough room at the top of the tree, how can it be that even a driver with three victories, 25 podiums and over 100 WRC stage wins cannot find a drive at the top level? - asks Dirtfish in the following article:
