GO FAST Energy WRT

[WRCS14]

I wonder how many rally events people have competed in against the likes of Henning to say he is very slow.

I look at Mattews result at WRC level, in 2006 he did 16 events and finish in 28th place with 1 drivers point. Then in next years he finish 11th,10th,7th,7th and 7th in 2011 again. OK I understand at National level in GB he is able to maybe win rallies so this tells me is not so bad but why he cant bring something extra when he goes into WRC I dont know.
I would think being a son of the boss he would extra strong engine etc even though he is in the B or C squad.

Then the likes of Ogier and other new fast driver make his 5 year plan look bad.

Ok he has levelled off at 7th place each year but without looking it up I fear maybe only 7 drivers are doing every single round?

I thought I played it safe with the pickems this year and put Wilson on the list. Monte being a unpredictable hard rally with no super-rally, I thought he would not retire and climb to the points.... He didn't retire I got that part but how on earth did he not climb to top eight ??? There must be something terrible wrong with the five-year-plan !!!

GoSlowEnergy would be more marketable with a driver like Slowson

I think young Wilson is past his best.

There are probably half a dozen drivers from the UK who would be faster than Wilson pretty much straight away in that car.

Really? Would you care to name them as I can only think of Wilks and maybe Higgins or McRae? I will admit idiocy if you can get loads more!

Meeke.. Wilks, Higginsx2, A McRae, I was going to say Breen but I realised he was proper-Irish, maybe Bogie, maybe even Hunt. Can I have Mikkelsen?

Ok, 6 is a stretch but my point is I really don't think it is very hard to reach Wilson's level of "speed" and he has had a lot of experience in that car.

How much off the pace are the customer cars compared to the works team ?
Are there differences in spec also btw the customer teams ?

For sure. For example Bernardo Sousa sold his Fiesta because of that. Maybe portugese members here can explain better what he said?

No one has any facts or data to support this theory. Only guessing
