    As mousti said: neuville doesn't come from a wealthy family.
    He got where he is purely on talent, just like ogier and loeb. Thats why i believe he can be world champion one day. Unlike latvala, ostberg or Mikkelsen, who only gotten into the wrc because of their rich daddy.

    The 3 minute gap was a standard between WRC Trophy and WRC2, but Kopecky basically lost WRC2 win in Catalunya because he caught Serderidis on the long Terra Alta stage. After that they increased the gap. I think Tidemand also caught him in Wales.

    Normally Tidemand was starting 3 mins behind him, but i noticed on Hafren stage that they gave him 4 mins gap.

    Is Jari Latvala (sr) really so rich? His business is importing and selling used tractors harvesters and their parts. He was also a rally driver, but never got past national privateer level. I remember when my dad's old combine harvester would break, he'd drive up to Latvala's shop to buy a part because it was basically the only place in Finland to buy such parts. But maybe you can get rich doing that...

    Are you jealous of Serderidis' situation?

    If he can put the money for a some rallies with a C3 WRC, it's a good chance for him. It's good to see gentleman drivers like him. They don't steal wheel from other drivers.

    Laughed hard at this! Especially the spectator(s) you can hear bursting out laughing when he crashes!

    Kees Burger who drives a R5 Skoda does pretty well for a guy in his mid to latae 60's. Not crazy fast, but not slow either. It's great to see people live their dreams!

    serderidis is slow compared to top drivers, but that is just pacenote making speed.
    I can understand that people just want to have fun, but i can't understand how anyone can actually have fun driving such a beast of a car so slow.
