    The big problem in WRC2 is that it is possible for 2 title contenders to never meet each other... That kills the competition. Drivers that (have the budget to) go to rally's like Argentina, Mexico, Australia and China, will take easy points there.

    Well, the Fiesta Evo 1 is still an unknown beast.

    It is not only about car, but also about drivers...

    And that's a one hell of a program... I am truly surprised but good for him. As a countryman I'll keep an eye on him a bit closer than last season. Nevertheless, he needs to make a really big progress in terms of speed and effectiveness. Maybe he's not the most talented guy in our polish backyard but he's young and the most important pretty well funded.

    If only Kajto would have such a program... Shame, because it looks like he's staying in ERC...

    Why should Kajto do WRC2 it's more expensive and almost no coverage. WRC2 is ideal for youngsters who graduated from a championship like ERC and have WRC ambitions so they need to learn the stages.

    Why do you thing he hasn't got a WRC ambition? It's very true ERC has a way better coverage, but I believe there is still time for him to have a proper shot in WRC (as Kubica had). He's ready to step up to WRC2 and be fairly competitive right out of the box. The only thing he's missing to have a full package is an experience. Another season in ERC, ever with another title won't bring him any closer to being competitive in WRC.
