That's what happens when you literally cannot afford to crash.

His first crash in about 6 years was last season in Greece and his career hasn't recovered due to the cost incurred proves the point.

If you can't afford to crash, perhaps the World Championship is a bit above your means?

Perhaps winning any other event outright (national championship or similar) would prove useful in attractiing sponsors or manufacturer attention. Has he ever won a rally outright?

Since his junior championship days, he's won one actual rally outright.

He's got a decent chance in Nice and Ypres, to be fair, but if he can't win either of them it will say a lot.

But he also plans to start in Roma or Barum and Central Europe. I really can't see him win any of these events, or even finish on podium.

The other being a small event Spain with no other R5/Rally2, let alone four-wheel drive entries. The other was a club event in UK again against competition well below his level.

Tomorrow in Nice he should win. He knows the stages and their nature from recent Monte Carlo rallies and the competition is not that strong. But in Ypres - that'd be his career-best result if he'd win there.

Accident retirement for Ingram on SS5. He was holding 2nd place, 4,7s behind Fotia after SS4.

Ingram is more of a good character than an aweesooome driver. Which is also great to have on the sport tbh.

I have decided to enter the Ypres Rally with Wevers Sport in the highly succesful VW Polo GTI R5. The event will be intergrated with a Rally Warrior Experience day beforehand where you can have the chance to ride with me flat out on some iconic rally stages. I will also offer one lucky supporter of my crowdfunding army a ride in the car, as I did at my Rally Experience in Wales back in April.

It will not be easy to win in Ypres against Lefebvre, Fourmaux and a couple of local specialists:
