He was almost beaten by Emil Bergkvist in a group N Mitsubishi (while driving a Skoda Fabia wrc). I don't think so...

PG has more to offer, no doubt. But In case swedish driver, that wouldŽnt be Tidemand (locked up) so must be Bergkvist. But that is a long shot, I know.
Not sure we are talking about the same rally but I doubt he had engine issues the whole rally. Bergkvist was close to his times (or better) on all the stages and ended the rally about 1 minute and some seconds off his pace if I remember well.
I agree 100 percent with Mirek, he would be nowhere near my "talents to look out for" list for next year.
I would get Nikara into the test group. He has natural speed, amd is similar to Latvala amd McRae in that respect.
in the right environment he could learn a lot, maybe Tommi is the man!
