Rantanen.
First of all I would like to say that he is really good.
But on the other hand, if you are not able to match the times of the fastest drivers nationally, how could you match or beat the fastest drivers internationally.
In World Championship rallying you have to be amazingly good in order to succeed, you have to be able to destroy your opposition on national level in order to go further. And that is not Rantanen.
If Ogier is now number one of the list of potential drivers, Östberg and Novikov are there right behind, Rantanen is somewhere outside of top ten.

Jocke Nyman (25y) was very fast this week-end on the roads of the Swedish rally, called Värmland Runt this year. http://www.swedishrally.com/varmlandrunt
OK, the level of the championship is not the same as their scandinavian neighbours, but I think he has a good potential. Don't know if he has money though.

I saw Nyman on Rally Bohemia last year and was pretty much impressed by his driving

Almost end of 2009 season in most championships.
Any new names to follow next year?
I mentioned Neuville as a young gun to follow 1,5 year ago and he's on the right track although still a long way to go.
Boon from Belgium as well needs to step up to level 2 in 2010. Then we can have a better idea of his potential.

He also took part in Rally Portugal (his first ever WRC rally) During the penultimate stage of the first day he caught a car in front but while driving in the dust he damaged the steering a little and decided not to start for the last stage and got bit over 11 minutes penalty for that. He won also one stage in GrN and without that penalty he would have been fighting for the third place.Colins Crest = Möldri Mätas

Norway
In Norway the top talent that has been out in the world is still Mikkelsen and Østberg. Right behind them is Brynildsen.
All of them are planning to be in WRC, WC or IRC in 2010.
Still at the national level we have mr Grøndal A8, Bieltvedt N4, Hennings stepson Pontus Tiedemand,Subaru Cup (Swed but driving in Norway...), Trond Svenkerud, Subaru Cup, and maybe Marius Aasen Renault Clio N3.
As far as I remember no peak talent came up in 2009.
But will be interessting to see the first 3 next year, and hopefully Østberg in a new Car...
