It's strange, seeing Camilli is a real blast from the past. When I started watching WRC1, maybe 2015 or 2016, he was on the fringes of it. I saw your post and thought "Is he still going?"

Camilli is currently leading the French rally championship:

Basically so they’ll compete with one another more often.

interesting, but budget and costs
its cool the way f1 and motogp run their f2/f3 moto2/3 on basically every round, but eh... budget and costs

Funny read when you notice Solberg won't drive a single tarmac round whole year and has pretty good chance of securing the title that way.

Well if it is allowed by the rules, then it would be stupid to drive on events that doesn't suit best(against main rivals)..

Sure it is a perfectly valid strategy, but in the article they make it sound like Solberg is not doing it:

“The way I look at it, I don’t care about choosing this and this and that, because my goal is WRC. And then I have to be fast everywhere. It’s very simple. So I just try to do my best every different rally when I do in WRC, too. That’s it.”

He doesn't care, yet hasn't done a single tarmac since Croatia last year.

He did monte this year.

He did monte this year.

True, though he wasn't nominated for WRC2 points. So all his point scoring rallies this year are gravel/snow.

If European drivers don't want to travel overseas, then maybe the WRC2 should have less European rounds. And make the remaining European rounds part of the ERC.
