Do i remember right in that Kimi has done some gravel notes on Monte once?
If you step back in time a bit, Jim Clark drove very quickly on the RAC Rally in the 1960s.
Vic Elford was probably the best example of a driver who was equally adept in both a race and rally car.

Harryman should know a thing or two about the top drivers.

If he tries it for fun OK, but if he tries it to get success in the WRC... Maybe the best option will be DTM or WTCC after the F1.
Alex Crivillé, winner of 500cc in 1999 also tried rallying in Spain, he run some events in the national gravel championship and he won in Ourense's event on a Seat Córdoba WRC in 2006.
Kimi would be that far off the pace it wouldnt be funny.
I'm not sure if Kimi would like to wake up so early to go rallying
Used to be it was quite common for F1 drivers and other from racing series would compete in the RAC.. oops Rally GB.
Wasb't it that Pappapappappadopoulos drove WRC car and Häkkinen group-N Mitsu?Quote:
