So he is reasonably talented. Strong sponsor as Telmex allow him to be in Mexico with the Mini. I can say that he deserves this oportunity, he is not a "0" Car like Nobre.
Very good for him. Will he do more WRC after Mexico with MINI? I am beginning to think we might see Richard Mason in a MINI for Rally NZ.

Also if there is another WRC game, there is going to be a very large array of official MINI drivers on offer methinks.
