T16 talking about twats tops everything. How is your conversation with Fast Eddie going?

It's not... the idiot blocked me!

Only thing I find bit weird:

When Kalle started with Yaris WRC (year ago) most of you here were saying "it´s way too soon" (Kalle was WRC2 PRO Champion)

now when Oliver is starting with i20 WRC nearly everyone is OK with it.

Is that because Kalle proved you ;)

Oliver is less than year younger than Kalle and fast.
Lack of results is only problem, very many good SS results but not so many overall.

I have nothing against him driving WRC (especially because I will be there, working.)

Evans gone to R5 after WRC and then we have a title contender...

All can happen, i preferer see Oliver on WRC than on Rally2.

I was for Rovanpera, and I’m for Solberg and Fourmaux as well as they feel like they have something about them. I want to see these young lads in the cars and showing us what they might be capable of. Much as the likes of Mikkelsen, Ostberg, Paddon, Meeke and load of others, could, would or have done a decent job in the past, they aren’t the future.
Of course you don’t want to see anyone hurt themselves, or do millions worth of damage, but I’m of the opinion they are better learning in the faster car and getting used to the speeds.

I heard some rumours about that DNF. So we don´t know the game going on...

With Huttunen, Veiby etc there would have been a little post/tweet and that's it.. ,,Thanks!''

Solbergs attract people with their positivity and emotions while giving interviews and that's what fans like and the series needs.

For sure. Swedish state television also covered this yesterday in sports broadcastings.

Kalle certainly made the way for other talented youngsters. Looking forward to see Oliver's pace.

Somewhere on twitter I guess. A person, don´t remember who, speculated it was delibraty, because his off did look weird.

I´m sure it was nothing.

Maybe it was Adamo´s tactics that he went off the road on the last stage :)
