I don't think it's big words. Who is the opposition in SWRC this year? Paddon and? PG has Proton and most likely won't finish anyway, Salo I guess will be similar case. The real benchmark - VW guys are not counted into SWRC...

Indeed Mirek, I agree! What about Breen, will he do Finland or not?
The biggest mistake is if he stays in Finland and win the local village people over and over again...like many finnish drivers did in the last few years and they were considered talents but when they left the border they were ridiculed...
The only 2 succefull (short of) Finnish drivers we have had international careers in italy and UK respectively along with beating the locals...
In the last few years the finns tend to stay in their country and build a name there driving on roads they eventually learn by heart and when they tackle different surfaces or roads they get beaten senseless... let me tell you a liitle secret because i am a nice person deep inside... this is the model greek "rally" (LOOOOL) drivers do and the only thing they manage to do is have armies of yes men... but it does not lead them anywhere apart from when they get at the near death age of 60-65 they claim they could be world class, and as my bike mechanic is saying to me " I could beat Pedrosa or give him a challenge easily when i was 20, but i did not left the greek borders" and then all hell breaks loose....
what about the IRC finnish guy Pajunen ?? what is his age ?? i actually confused lappi with him when i was refering to the european events he contested....
Will you lend the money for Finnish drivers? Because you didn't use that word once and that's also the missing thing in many young drivers' plans, that fact goes globally. Going through the same villige idiot rallies over and over again is an option when you love to rally but don't have resources for anything else. That why I tend to use the word "chance" in Lappi's case.
Mikko Pajunen, compared to Lappi, is a senior citizen in the current age model of world rallying. He is around 28. And he is hardly an "IRC guy", but still doing rounds in Italy this year. Perhaps you mistaken him for Nikara?Quote:

MY GOD! 28! he's 10 years past the "sell by" date....
Times have changed, somebody tweet him! It used to be you needed experience and that took time to accumulate....
Now, its all over by 21.
Poor guy, he'll probably take up drinking and be totally on the street by 31.
Rantanen and Lindholm in with Fiesta WRCs! Atkinson with DS3 under the Qatar WRteam. Tänak also in... Along with Henning.Quote:

By far the best entry list of the year.
Honestly have you not heard the news?!? I'd be amazed if Breen does Finland after the last few weeks - a lot to think about and perhaps just too soon to jump back in a car, if indeed, he wants to right now.Quote:
