Is he too Tall or why?

Agree, full season with 4th Rally1 like Katsuta the last 2 years should work if they insist on Rally1 or full season (not just 7 Events) in Rally2.
I hear it over and over again how driving around a small circuit in RX car shows he "can handle it". Lately I tend to agree with what other people wrote. That RX-mindset with full push every corner is actually a disadvantage at this point. He has shown he has top speed over a stage or a few sections, it's the balance of keeping less than 100% speed over multiple stages that is the problem.
Tanak and Evans were both kicked from WRC to R5 (or even "out" for Tanak) at MSport. They came back stronger, so I don't buy the "step back". Oliver only ever won a single rally in R5 on WRC level (Estonia 2020) and a single ERC rally (Liepaja 2020). So it's not like there is nothing to learn.

Not anything new really, I think Moncet mentioned that last week when he was interviewed by Dirtfish that they're now focusing on getting the car ready for 2023.
Replies re Solberg's speed in an RX car may be fair enough, but what about himi n the ARC in a top Subaru ?
I dont think the problem is that he 'cant handle' a Rally1 car.
