What makes you think that? Are you someone who thinks that any British driver could get a shopping trolley onto the podium with their eyes closed?
There are dozens of drivers who have better records than him, there's no reason he should finish in the top eight at any event.

Dont judge Guy until you've seen him. He hasn't been given his chance until this year.

I really believe in Urmo! Go Urmo! :) More than Märtin (I don't really like him - just to show I'm not a big fan of estonians just because of them being estonians), more than Wilks.... Really funny to see PG and Urmo. I think it's a perfectly strong Suzuki lineup where lots of raw speed are put together.

Aava and PG for Suzuki JWRC.... So does this mean anything for their WRC??? Whoever does better with JWRC gets WRC seat??? If Suzuki is taking similar approach to Citroen, it is a natural progression to make their own JWRC driver a future WRC driver.

I think Urmo Aava has the most potential of the two. Andersson has been quite invisible to me since his S1600 championship. But I think these are two logical choises. I presume one of them will get a WRC seat for next year, so it will indeed be intresting who will get the other at Suzuki. Probably a more expierenced driver.

If one of WRC drivers is coming from the JWRC team, than Suzuki already started on the wrong side of the things.

Are National Titles driving or humans (rallydrivers)? Also like Erki already stated, that he has few national titles. He achieved first titles driving Lada Samara against VW Golf KitCar (thou the no.1 opponent wasn't really worldclass, but had about 10-15yrs experience).

I'm negatively surprised about your negative surprise.
Did you start on the wrong side of the things?

You problably don't like Märtin because he criticized Swedish rally about snowproblems - but he was right then and is still now ;) . Even some of swedish fans are frustrated about weather problems.

I've been in Swedish rally many times and going this year also - very nice rally if there's snow (lot of snow i mean ;) ).

Or are my sources so wrong? :s

I think your source is correct. The wrong source is Suzuki site (as i mentioned in my previous post) that show this about Arva:

1998-2000 Estonia F2
2001 Estonia N3
2003 Entered from SWT France, Junior World Rally Championship 5th

To Cali:

I don't know very well Urmo Aava before he came to JWRC. I resumed my coment on the information on the Suzuki site. I wrote that on my previous post.

Invisible ? He Had his title this year but FIA was not on his side.
PG is the fastest driver of them all....

Apart from Meeke and maybe even Wilks who had him in 06 for pace
