The second generation of academy drivers is already 27 years old Yuki Yamamoto https://www.ewrc-results.com/profile...yuki-yamamoto/ and Hikaru Kogure (23) https://www.ewrc-results.com/profile...hikaru-kogure/ and looking at their performances, there is very little reason to believe that one of them will be in Rally1 in a year or two, they have plenty to do even with rally2 for now.
Actually, Katsuta was very consistent a while ago, I don't know what got him at the moment. And the speed. He wasn't doing good but finished the rallies. I was quite sure, he would never get faster. Now he is fast but inconsistent. Remember that Neuville was the same. Even Tanak bin it quite often. Breen, Meeke...
I would give him last chance next year, every champ began with mistakesQuote:

We have confirmed that there is an order for 9 Rally1 cars from Paraguayan drivers for the 2025 Paraguay WRC Rally.
The expectation is at its maximum !!
Sounds a bit crazy, would there even enough chassis around and the will by Toyota and Hyundai to offer/run them?Quote:

Do they still think it's Group A days? Nobody can supply them with 9 cars. Even if the teams had the ability to do it, it makes no sense for them to get so many chassis up and running for just one event.
"renting" cars, right? not buying, i assume.Quote:
