Nice.

I’m guessing the US won’t be eligible considering the Yaris they sell here is just a rebadged Mazda 2.

I can't see this in the competition rules - and the current leader is Lebanese. Where does it say that?

They should flex their purse for FIA World Tour winners as well. Supras for the world champions.

On every "worldwide" competition since I was 12.
BigBen didn't even bother to release WRC8 in Australia (PS4 disc).

On every "worldwide" competition since I was 12.

And where in the rules for this specific competition - currently lead by someone who is neither from the USA nor the European Union - does it say that the winner can only be from the USA or the European Union?

Unwritten historical precedent.

Unwritten historical precedent.

You stated, in the thread attached to the front-page article for this competition, that competitors from outside the US and EU are not eligible:

IF,you live in the EU or US.

Where is this written in the rules for this competition in order for you to state this as a fact? I need to know in order to put that information in the article, so people who are not eligible do not enter.

I find it very odd that esports WRC would allow a Lebanese competitor to race, and lead the championship, if he is not eligible to do so.

The GR Yaris looks awesome, much more excited about that than the new Supra
