Thats true, but it also make one wonder what the motives of the sponsors are, if a guy has achived about nothing when he is about 40, its not likely he will later do any better.Quote:

I don't know which Belgian driver would get a better result than him, there might be few faster than him, but they do not have the experience.Quote:

I think about Loix, Princen, Duval (ok, he has won a WRC round), Thiry (he won an ERC title), Casier, ... I think some drivers are too ambitious and if they don't find the budget for WRC or IRC, they don't drive at all, which is a pitty for national championship like in Belgium and maybe that's the reason why there isn't so much interest in ERC either.
Much different from here then, here when a driver starts an international carreer "WRC", he stops driving in national championships, that leaves the field open for new drivers to develope, here the young drivers also get the best possible coaching around, not long time ago they showed a program in tv called "master class" or something like that, 1 part was about a young rallydriver who was coached by Gardemeister and Timo Rautiainen, the idea is to be ready as possible when going international, that saves money and time too.Quote:
