Well if you click the link to the fia page I provided then yes, it does (the question was what about wrc2, is that a title and the page has it listed as titles up for grabs)
Does that mean they are world champion? Difficult to say but most other racing classes count the title winner as world champion (formula 1, gp2 or whatever it’s called, MotoGP, moto2, moto3 etc)

Well yeah, ofc if you win WRC2 you get that WRC2 Champion title, same as winner of WRC Masters Cup got Winner of WRC Masters Cup title. But you've been talking about world title.
And no, it's absolutely easy to say, as was said many times here in forum. And no, a champion of Formula 2 is not World Champion, same as for example champion of GT3 in WEC. And MotoGP is held by different government body.

“I think Thierry is very strong and has a very strong opinion of what he wants, but to a certain degree when you have been 10 years in the same team you struggle to bring up new ideas and concepts. And that is absolutely normal and it is not a criticism of Thierry, and this is an area where Esapekka is very strong.

Even I can see that, as there's no obligation to enter WRC and do all the rallies. FIA are looking for more WRC manufs/constructor/team entrants, so it's obvious what they will have to do to Rally2....
