WRC main class in 2025

[Mirek]

We all know Skoda is really factory, it's just presented differently for perception reasons....

Actually it isn't. Had they have a real works team they would be stronger. That's a sure thing. And exactly for that reason it doesn't make much sense for people to automatically expect teams running Rally2 cars to join WRC if it goes Rally2+. Running a factory-supported team in a support championship is something completely different than to run a WRC team. The level of competition and the difference coming from the tinest details is completely different. They are not stupid and know that there is no chance a factory supported private team like Toksport could defeat Toyota or Hyundai in the WRC. Add to that the very fact that running a team which only serves the purpose of bringing numbers makes more damage to the marketing than not running it at all.
