Kris meeke- the fastest driver with no seat

[Allyc85]

Novikov consistent?

Meeke did have that powerstage win and would easily had a podium at Rally GB (whilst Sordo was still picking himself out of the scenery) if it wasnt for car problems on day 2.

5th in spain and 4th in GB in a relatively new car from only 6 starts. How exactly is that 'blowing it'?
Faster than Hanninen and Loix (at Ypres!) in the 207. Won San Remo beating Rossetti in his own backyard. Fast enough given the machinery at any level, or do slow drivers win WRC Power Stages when the championship is still open?

Well said sir!

Didn't Kris beat Oiger in Germany back in 2008 using an older Clio S1600 when Seb was in a PH Sport C2 S1600?

So? How many WRC points has he got so far?

How is he different/faster from Mathiew Wilson?

Prodrive announced next year will have full programme. Sordo might be gone, wouldn't they offer Meeke a seat again?

How is he different/faster from Mathiew Wilson?

1 he is a different person, so that will be 100% different to Matthew Wilson
2 Wilson is not terribly fast but rarely bends the car, Meeke is very quick but often bends the car so again about 100% different

That powerstage win in Spain was down to tyres and drying tarmac.

So? How many WRC points has he got so far?

How many realistic chances has he had to score points?

I feel Meeke promised a lot, he is very quick but he needed to do more in the Mini than he did last year, sure more events would have been good but he still made too many errors. At the time some of his diehard fans said that he was building experience for next year, all lovely in theory except if he was learning events and not driving 100% then he should have been off the road less

Prodrive said they'd have a full programme this year.

I wouldn't hold your breath on that happening next year.

Yes, but before BMW "surprised" them
