2. i guess a good rally2 team can be made of 2 car, 1 experienced and 1 young gun. the best one scores, so it's logical to have a reliable point scorer but also grow your new generation for rally1. it's possible that someone could bet more on one side than others, of course... that's without knowing if the rally2 team is open or has some "junior" features, i guess this could be explored in developing the rules.

3. what? i'm confused... it's the same as now! we currently have 2 rally1 scoring for teams...nothing will change. you can enter how many cars you wish, best 2 will score. that will remain the same. only this will apply to rally2 too. teams can enter how many car they want, best result for manus entered car will add points for the championship. Looks quite simple to me.
will it really improve the coverage of WRC2? how? They will mention at the end of the rally: "X manufacturer also gets Y points from Z finishing 5th in WRC2 but getting top points for manu because he was the highest placed nominated driver behind 4 Skodas".

For point 3 I took it as reducing the number of nominated cars in Rally1 from 3 to 2 that might have been my misinterpretation, the source is vague. The point that there is a further complication to follow in WRC2 stands. Actually the most important point to mention is what Mirek said, that there shouldn't be an extra hurdle in place for a new manu joining. You say since most of the things are already happening then why not introduce it, I say exactly that there is no point, it's just a gimmick.
