Ah - thanks - I'd either missed that or forgotten it - so I'd agree, it's not the best lineup they could have had.

Agreed - I think the problem is that you don't get privateer entries in WRC now - I guess the current generation of WR cars is just too expensive to run for a full season on a privateer budget?
WRC2 is a good class as a support and I think entry costs there are more achievable for privateers as the 'off the shelf' R5 cars are readily available. I think maybe better coverage of the WRC2 class would be a good step - the action there certainly seems to warrant it.

Agreed - this last couple of seasons since the latest cars were introduced have been really good. Next season will be interesting with all the driver moves but hopefully it'll still be as close.
