    A good move for Oliver to return to WRC2 and try and do it properly as he should have before progressing to WRC1.

    Also, Lindholm/Solberg/Gryazin/Pajari/Bulacia/Ingram(?) a pretty strong lineup for Toksport.

    Against...Rossel in a Citroen, maybe Suninen in a Hyundai, who else?

    If you're promised a long term plan with a top WRC team where you'll be allowed to develop without pressure or expectations then you accept that deal. Not his fault that the team then imploded and completely changed their strategy and attitude.

    Having said that, it's good for Oliver's mentality to have a season of stability away from the chaos and the pressure. Will be a massive thing for him to refresh.

    I know he was promised these things, like Adamo promised for Ott a lot of things.

    But still my point stands, it was too early for him to do a full season in a rally1 car

    Oliver was in Hyundai in a 3rd car, a point scoring car for the manufacturer, not in a 4th car or in a B team like Katsuta was.
    There's no way in hell Hyundai was going to just let Oliver drive with no pressure without expecting at least few good results here and there.

    Their (Hyundai) words at the time are more worth than yours having all the aftermath.
