His first rally in a wrc car, dont know what he can do on gravel with it but hes fast with the N4 on gravel (good fights with Alen I think it was). But at the moment he got lot to learn.
Cant see anyone else in Sweden that is at Flodins level, so it dont look very bright :)
Finland probably got the most of the youngsters, like always

And Jennie-Lee Hermansson in Sweden ??? Not a future Michelle Mouton ?? :D

As for Atkinson, seeing his results in Monte and Sweden he seems to have become better than Petter this year :rolleyes:

Hirvonen has been like he was last year, slowish but reliable. he will never be a title contender. Same goes with Latvala, he lost too much to Henning in Sweden and his speed was not that good compared to anyone.

Hänninen was again great in gr.N as was Alen and Sohlberg. Nice to see what Hänninen can do in Norway.

In Italy we have Simone Campedelli, 20 years old. Great drive at Motorshow with an old 206 WRC. You have seen him in a Mitsu Gr N last year too (Italy and Cyprus for example).

Kalle Pinomäki, time will tell if he'll make it to the top. He and Juho Hänninen are guys straight from AKK's talent factory.

In sweden vi have hope to Flodin and PG.

And like usual finnish talents its over represented.
A couple really fast drivers, lika Alen,Hänninen, Latvala and many more.
