I mean it would be good if it would be really made like a real proper championship. Not that the rules are strange and apparenty everyone could enter it and then Manus take it like pro entry. And lack of entries too.
I said it before. Two entry works team (that mean, M-Sport, Citroen, Hyundai, Skoda and even VW could join). And two entries is meaned by that they must enter each event with both drivers. And then like in top class they could score points for team championship. Rallies could be all 14 rounds. That way it could different from normal WRC2. Now with privateers mixed you don't know what is what and where is where. And you practically don't know that is there because only Kalle will probably be on live.

I had no issues with WRC Trophy being like that, as that class was always meant to be for drivers with more money than talent, that just wanted to drive WRC events with the fastest car they could get their hands on. It would always be like that.
But that WRC2-"Pro" gives you a guaranteed 18 points just for finishing, is idiotic.

In a dream case we would have Skoda, Toyota, Hyundai, Msport, Proton and Citroen all with a 2 R5s going for a WRC2pro title with young drivers. Then it would actually make sense. But that's not going to happen in WRC.
If they want to split R5 make it like ERC u28 is in ERC. Everyone fights for the same title under the same rules, but then there is change for youngsters (privateers in WRC case) to fight a trophy for their own.
We have a good number of R5 drivers in the (most of the) events but not that many that we need to split them into Pro's and privateer's.
Is the WRC2pro win really a "accomplishment" for Kalle or Gus in Monte when there is just 2 drivers? well no.
Is the WRC2 win for someone (for example Huttunen, who is not a newbie) in Finland really a win when if there is 6 R5 drivers faster than him in the "pro" category, I would bet, No.
Yes, they maybe a factory drivers or most likely just entried by one but still driving in the equal machines.

Gus also said at the end of SS2 that he's going to up his pace tomorrow...can only ask why he would do it. Just a safe finish and points are in the bag, regardless of what the WRC2 guys do.
Also, we can ask why Kalle took it so fast on the first stage...or did he make a mistake because he was driving 'safe'?
But yeah, ridiculous this is now...

It seems the WRC2 Pro crews get coverage on AllLive, that's good at least.

It must be a long time since the first SKODA was only in 8th position in RC2 on a WRC round.
A really long time...
