This is as much as the semantics of "multi-year deal": They are set to race for the team, only don't how long they will race for. Unnamelessness (talk) 07:14, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
- I agree with both of you. Can you agree what is the aim of listing co-drivers? Is it what's widely expected or hard documented facts? I personally wouldn't accept even WRC.com as fact on Coria. But to remove him is pointing out the possibility all of these co-drivers could be replaced as has happened many times this season, simply because co-drivers are not all contracted like drivers are. It's mostly media (including the teams' media) doing their job putting stories in front of us until we see the fruits of agreements on the start ramps next season. We could even argue the teams may yet withdraw. My opinion is update the article to something like "These teams, drivers and co-drivers are expected to contest in 2022", then keep Coria listed (as WRC.com seem to expect) until proven otherwise. You both do great work here so hopefully you can come to an agreement. PushingPace (talk) 16:50, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
- Just to labour my point, there's no support from WRC.com in an article published today that Fourmaux will be in a top class car next year.[1] PushingPace (talk) 21:09, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

JWRC
The 2022 JWRC calendar was released today – [1]. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 15:32, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
- I suggest waiting for the Sporting Regs to give direction, it's not clear yet if JWRC is WRC3 Junior or they will be two separate championships/cups. FIA have been telling us championships will be numbered, with junior categories everywhere so this could be a mess.--Rally Wonk (talk) 12:48, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
Monte Snow
RE: "The event is officially a snow and tarmac mixture rally. See sources list in the table."
Hi Unnamelessness (talk · contribs), I've been looking at the sources but can't see which one you mean. If it's an official snow rally it should mean snow tyres and gravel set up. Thanks --Rally Wonk (talk) 12:52, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks. As much as I love eWRC, it's not official in any way. Looking at tyres - https://www.pirelli.com/tyres/en-ww/motorsport/rally (and the Monte Rally Guide); the snow/ice tyres are offered in Monte with the usual tarmac tyres. In Sweden and Arctic they have to use snow/ice tyres even when there's no snow. For that reason I think it's fair to say mixed surface. I agree it's a tarmac+weather surface but you could also argue Sweden is gravel+weather. --Rally Wonk (talk) 13:21, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
