Can drivers run in ERC before they turn 17 then?

I don't know - honestly I was quite surprised to see this. Exact wording of the article is:
[Solberg] has been competing in Latvia and Estonia this season and he will target both of those titles in 2018 with the aim of also contesting five rounds of the FIA European Rally Championship. Solberg's birthday comes on September 23, which would mean he will be 17 and eligible for a Rally GB entry next year.

Ha good?

I think we should note when copypasting machine translated material, there's usually something lost in translation, same with the Sordo/Clark tweets yesterday
Other than that, I think it would be good for Lefebvre to take a year off in WRC2. If he could win WRC2 in some rallies, it would do good for his confidence. Being the slowest WRC and crashing constantly is taking him nowhere.
Today Ogier's twitter has him on holiday in New York.
Seeing that he wanted his future decided early, does this mean his 2018 is already sorted...
