So many people quick to write off Travis.
He may never be anything in the WRC, but then again, you never know.
His biggest problem is US backers that want him running in the US as well as the PWRC. Combine that with other scheduled events (things that make his living for him) and it is tough.
Realistically he has only been rallying for a couple of years, and hasn't been truly pushed to find the last 15% you need to be sucessful on the international stage. He might be great, he might not.
No sane person can think he should replace Petter right now or in the next year or two. Then again, nobody should write him off after only 5 international events either...US Hillclimb and Rally Photos

Besides, shouldn't you be ranting about something or other related to how the WRC isn't worthy of Sebastien's talent or some other such nonsense?US Hillclimb and Rally Photos

Travis needs to get his arse into a WRC car. He's starting to get "old" to make his bid for a works team.

Thing is that right now he is nowhere near to the level required to be top contender. Maybe later. I like TP, but he needs the run more events in WRC.

I dont think he ever will be driving in a worksteam, he dont have the skill, and also there is every year coming a few better drivers than he is to the international level, not to talk about the 30-50 there already is.
