In that case they wont. But it's all theoretical until Lancia confirm if they're running the WRC team.

The subtitles in the video are "we're entering the WRC2 world championship" but I think his words are something else (maybe the car will run in WRC2?) Me and my legal definitions lol. Either way, the point is, Lancia could enter and PH run the entry, or PH enter and with support from Lancia, it signals different things.

because stellantis/lancia will hire them to run the program, same way they did with citroen.

Apparently Lancia are going to make an official launch announcement of their 2026 WRC2 entry on Nov 28th, including who will drive the cars.

Looking at the results only, I am struggeling to see the clear reason Toyota have used to promote Jaspar Vaher alone to a "Factory" WRC2 campaign in 26.

Was this a correct choice, you that know him better?

You must have looked wrong person then

Have seen him drive live and He drives like young Ott. The boy can win everything if with fast and reliable car (which Lancia was not). As Toyota does not need any extra drivers in a Rally 1 for 2026 (but by 2027, Ogier is 43 years old, Evans 38, not sure how long both of them continue with full time), he is just right investment for future. Just quite long way still to go and many things needed to be learned.
