The thing is that Kopecký already passed the point where there was something to prove by raw speed. It's the young who have to prove themselves and become the new champions in the future. Jan of course knows that there is nowhere to step up for him so what he does is what he can the best - deliver the results like a machine no matter what.

Is WRC2 really less competitive this year? There are at least 6 drivers competing for the championship. We are near the end of the season (4 rounds to go) and it is actually impossible to guess who will win:

Last year Kopecky, Tidemand and Rovanpera (all 3 factory drivers) won 10 out of 13 rounds and finished 1-2-3 in the championship:

besides, in some cases the fastests private drivers (mainly Polo users) can beat Citroen or Ford works drivers and even match, here and there, Rovanpera or Kopecky.
I know it sounds controversial and most forum members will not like it, but in my opinion one good thing about WRC2 Pro is that it eliminated factory drivers from WRC2.Last edited by Jarek Z; 26th August 2019 at 10:57.

Ok, the fight in WRC2 looks to be tight but most of the contenders are only doing a sort of part-time campaign…and the same seems to be happening in WRC2 Pro. Besides, who cares about who’s fighting for WRC2 when even WRC2 Pro guys can’t get a decent exposure?
A single WRC2 series with a Privateers Cup inside it would certainly work better than the current split series, as private drivers would be able to fight among themselves but also directly against works crews (it’s possible, like Bonato, Veiby, Lefebvre, Ciamin and others have showed) and we would avoid having shameful Pro entry lists with only 2 or 3 cars.Rally addict since 1982

That's true. I only found 2 official videos from WRC2 / WRC2 Pro and they are only 1-minute long:

... and the tripple European champion Kajto was only fourth and Gryazin was completely nowhere.
The point is that Griebel was on home soil. Last year Jakeš was able to fight with Sordo on Barum and I'm pretty sure he would be minutes slower in Catalunya.
Come on PLuto, you can do beter than that.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump
