Updates on some of the listed talents I have seen/heard these past weeks.

• Kalle Rovanperä,born 2000 (FIN) - Monte-Carlo; crashed on the opening stage, after that speed wise OK weekend - some really nice stage times.
• Gus Greensmith, 1996 (ENG) - Monte-Carlo; Great speed whole weekend, problem free and a rather dominating R5 performace. Deserved victory.
• Nikolay Gryazin, 1997 (RUS) - Two dominate wins in Norwegian championship. Real test is the upcoming rally Sweden.
• Eerik Pietarinen, 1993 (FIN) - Starts the season from Sweden
• Oliver Solberg, 2001 (NOR) - Good performance on his R5 debut, won the latvian rally championship opener. Next rally in a weeks time in Latvia.
• Emil Lindholm, 1996 (FIN) - Dominating victory in Finnish rally championship opener. One small off where he lost +20 secs, but the real test is WRC2 Sweden.
• Henrik Pietarinen, ???? (FIN) - 2019: Did his first R5 event in Arctic rally last weekend, good but nothing special - lots of room to improve.
• Chris Ingram, 1994 (ENG) - Hasn't announced any plans for 2019? hopefully there is something.
• Adrian Fourmeaux, 1995 (FRA) - Didn't have any clue about this guy until Monte, but wow. Great performance and one to really follow this season.

Rally Finnskogen wasn't a championship round and no real competition for Gryazin after Larsen got turbo hose problems early on.
Shame he's not driving Rally Hadeland this weekend when everyone will be there, 15 R5's and only Kristoffersson missing really

17-year-old Oliver Solberg won the 3rd round of 2019 European Rally Championship, Rally Liepaja in Latvia:

I thought it was a nice new direction for the Kitchen Table. Gryazin seems like a likeable chap, very down to earth.

wowwww, what a surprise they picked Greensmith for the one seat.

definitely didnt expect that.

Gus did well, but it's still too early to tell. The only thing I learned from watching Gus is Kalle should be a lot better in WRC than him.
