Well, I suppose Greensmith might now be called the top English (rather than British) driver, since Meeke and Evans are not English.
Not sure if that really means anything, but...

No that's a fair point, we English have national pride too.Quote:

It wasn't Katsuta's first rally on snow. He drives Rally Sweden, Arctic Lapland Rally and many events in Finland every year.Quote:

That's a completely different thing though
"Snowy/icy tarmac rallies".Quote:

That amateur guy 3 minutes infront of him (Fourmaux) neither. He even did only his second 4WD rally ever (before he did only two national seasons with R2).Quote:

I had never heard of him before, but he was super impressive. Maybe we're lucky his first name is Adrien and not Sebastien ;)Quote:

The outcome could be similar... He's a "product" from the FFSA, will do a complete WRC2 program. The way he won the French junior championship last year was more than impressive. This was his second rally with the Fiesta R5, first 4WD car he ever drove in competition. Also Monte was his first rally with his new codriver (Renaud Jamoul). There's been a lot of talking about his sudden codriver switch, especially given that it's the French federation supporting a team with a Belgian codriver...
