WRC2 news & rumors 2023

[RS]

Wonder when the FIA/WRC promoter will try and clamp down on WRC 2 testing. Hardly seems to be a week goes by without the likes of Solberg posting a testing video.

It’s his first test in the new car on gravel to be fair. Besides if they restrict testing for Rally2 it’s even easier than with Rally 1s to enter national/ERC events instead.

So Solberg should have gone to MC, Sweden and Mexico in a new car with no test?
Jealousy is not a good look.
Wasn't there a 1 day test rule for each event last year for WRC2?

This rule is in ERC.

My post re testing was just out of interest and not in support of any particular driver regardless of my nationality although I appear to have hit a nerve. Obviously testing has always gone on and drivers with better budgets can do more of it its now just more obvious when the public have open access to test roads so its more in the domain. And its an interesting point to try and dissect between car development and specific event "practice".

The amount of testing these guys do is unreal.

I didn’t mean only Oliver btw. Literally half the WRC2 field. They are in a rally car almost every weekend. Lucky lads !

Eddie, Your admiration for him is remarkable but nevertheless - the world and this game especially is very unfair. He needs to crush oposition on stages to get more mileage, not cry how the world is against him in twitter...

There is thousands young talents hoping to have the oportunities that even Ingram has who will never get this chance.

My quote of Ingram's post was just made as it was relevant to the discussion on WRC2 testing.

7 WRC2 rounds for Kajto. He is going to drive Škoda Fabia from RaceSeven.

"ORLEN Rally Team have launched their 2023 car design – with timeless, classic elegance. Undoubtedly, the car of triple European Rally Champion, in its beige, minimalist livery, will stand out in the whole WRC field."
