Suzuki works drivers are Urmo Aava and PG Andersson

Not a bad choice IMO, I hope at least one gets the WRC car.
Wilks never impressed me a lot, i'm not anti-British as I rate Meeke very high, but Wilks looked pretty average to me.

wilks will be quick, it all depends on how quick the car will be, look at how he drove in cork compared to markko martin and mark higgins, ok it was markko's first time back and all but both were new to their subaru's and markko had more testing. I say well done to guy for organising the drive and i hope the money keeps coming, just keep it on the road and the talent will show

i'm not negative for once, good for Aava! i like the guy (maybe cause i met him in person) and i think that for suzuki it's a good choice if they want to sell more cars in Estonia!

Of course you're right, I shouldn't judge him yet. But realistically, he's unlikely to finish any of the events in the points, in a four-year-old car, with little experience of a WRCar (am I right about this??). It's stupid to have such blind faith.

Its not blind faith my friend.... maybe not norway... but maybe another events, for sure wilks will 'run' in points positions, wheather he finishes or not is another matter :)

Both Aava and Anderson will do Norway, P{ortugal, Sardinia, Finland, Germany, Catalunia and Corsica. So both drivers will need special approvement from the FIA to skip Finland and/or Coprsica if they get a change with the SX4 WRC.

All JRC drivers will skip 1 event of the 7 and drive a total of 6 JRC rallys. Both Urmo and PG have chosen Finland as the event they will miss and both plan to drive a WRC car on that event.

Maybe he will set a few top-eight stage times, but be realistic: he's never going to run consistently in the points, not in an '03 car and definitely not against such opposition as Gronholm, Hirvonen, Loeb, Sordo, the Solbergs, Gardemeister, et al.

That Focus 03 is better car than you think, Leon. ;)

He is driving the Focus04 not 03. And Wilks is a good driver, maybe not on snow, but wait for the gravel events. First time he drove a WRC car last year in Ireland the Cork20 rally he was leading ahead of Mark Higgins and Markko Märtin. That should show something.
