Pleeeease let the specialist days come back! I loved the diversity of having Rovanperä on one rally and Panizzi on the next.
I will ask though, who was Peugeot's tarmac specialist in 2004? I know that Panizzi was with them during the 206 days, but in 2004 he did some outings with the shitty Lancer. Was it Freddy Loix, or did he also share events with others like Cedric Robert?

I should say both, Loix and Robert. but Loix somehow didn't have confidence for that team...

The difference is that M-sport needs money from drivers, they're not really hiring specialists for certain events. If, say, Suninen doesn't have the budget for a whole season, the seat's open for anyone with a bag of cash on the remaining events.

Maybe you have to look to the archives to see what he did... He actually finished 2nd in his first WRC event with a 4WD car, and after that did more podiums with Toyota. Freddy is a driver with a lot of technical knowledge (that's why Skoda worked with him for the development of the Fabia S2000 and R5, or why he is still doing the testing-work for Michelin to develop their tires). But I think he can't perform well when not everything is to his liking, which was the case at Mitsubishi and Peugeot with the whale. Going to Mitsubishi was the biggest mistake in his career. Saying "he did nothing" is completely wrong, dimviii.

Scenery is nice, but Rally2's on these type of roads aren't that interesting to watch at least
