Make Conrad Rautenbach history!

I never really understood why some people want to see as many WRC cars as possible in an event no matter the talent behind them.....

The guy doesn't TOTALLY lack talent. 21 years old, as i mentioned before, we need to give the guy a chance. If we wrote off all drivers because of a crash on their first or second event we would not have any drivers in the WRC.

Sadly you must have the money before the talent in WRC nowadays ... anyway they're not stealing cars from anybody, so why forbid them to race, let them drive and crash and let us have fun :p

Well lets see what Gigi can do this year to change their minds :p

I can accept Atkinson has crashed a lot. But he's showed a lot of speed. But when there are crashes and a whole lot of no speed then......

There is a difference. It's like people bashing Wilson, just leave the guy alone, if his daddy wants to spend the cash and put him in a car then thats their business, not yours. Do you want to see 2 less cars on the road at a WRC event? The WRC is all the better for having those 2 extra cars whether they are at the front of the field or not...

Also I was not indicating he WILL be WRC champ because he crashed early like Mikko and Petter. I was giving an example that EVERYONE makes mistakes early in careers and it is all part of the learning curve.

How about Daniel tries to think outside the box for once and read more into posts rather than being so narrow minded and giving a 5 year old "i know you are you said you are but what am I" response.

Narrow minded? How about the nasty, narrow minded responses that have been directed my way? :laugh:

If daddy wants to spend the money that's great. But don't expect people to not to criticise him for being a waste of an entry spot which someone else could have used to further their promising careers.

Atko has also been driving a crap car which in his own words has not been easy and therefore he has had to push the car harder than he would have liked.

the depth is set by the people who are in inferior cars and were dominating him ....

Broccoli was taking him to school in an R3 !!!!

He has nothing to offer to the sport with a wrc car....

If you believe that you misunderstand the purpose & meaning of rallying. It is all encompassing. Unless one is paid, one sets ones own 'depth' or level of expectation. and no-one takes an opportunatey away from any other.
