Indeed. Maybe he is a very big talent, but it is too early to tell. Ofcourse he is ahead of opponents of the same age, he was in a rally car when others couldn't even say the word car...

that's the downside of having it handed to you on a silver plate. most young drivers have to prove them self in lower categories, working their way up and getting experience in silence. they only start driving an r5 car once they've proven to be the fastest in an r2.

but if you want to start with an r5 car and fight the big boys, you must also accept that the stakes are high and that it can be quite humiliating.

I've no doubt that Rovanperä has natural talent, but I'd hold my breath for the son of a world champion longer than for Peugeot's gravel specialist's.

Jari huttunen now best young finn. 6th overall after ss3. And 1st rally with hyundai. Good!

Well, some of italian guys shit on that Hyundai R5 (someone mentions Andolfi - he doesn't end any rally at all). It's clearly that they can't drive rally car.

That guy here can throw them glowes and he is first time in the car and in WRC event which is by the way far more difficult than their national rallies.

Well, Rovanperä, had few seasons in Latvia behind R2 wheel, and beat Sirmacis and Sesks with not so good car (Citroen C2 R2 vs. P208 R2/Fiesta R2). OK, Latvia's championship ins't as strong as ERC/WRC R2 field but still, his progress was very quick. When he start driving in Latvia he was in middle of field, like he is now in Wales. 4WD was natural step up. Kid has talent, and proved that he can improve quite quick. Yes, he could step down to R2/R3 for WRC events, like some others, but it's a big question if it help him or not.

Dear friend. I know my english is not very good but you should read it more carefully. I stated that it wasn't Andolfi who said that. And they were not "shitting" at the car, just saying that it is more difficult to drive. And that was confirmed by other fellow members of this forum from other nations that actually talk with drivers of their country.
