Yep you are right, but dont worry every 20 years or so 1 reasonable Brittish driver pop up, so it's just for you to be patient.

There's the Finnish national team and the French national team. Why there are only two, well that's more of question to the other nations who aren't there.

But they do carry heart beat monitors connected to the TV screen ;)

...while there were at any time 2, 3 or 4 "reasonable" Finnish drivers able to compete for the wins in single rounds or even the whole championship... :-( Yes, you're definitely right, but just at this moment those Finns are as week (i.e. uncapable of fighting for the title) as never... :-(((

Let's wait until the next season starts, but otherwise I feel the same. French car with french drivers should be dominant again and it's not only because of the "superior" car ;)
My hopes are still on Petter - he could spice up this championship

I'm not bothered about a British driver, though it would be nice - we need more countries represented in the WRC, if it is to grow. Having only 2 nations is not the sign of a strong and healthy series.

How about Mini with Meeke and most likely Sordo. They'll be in soon.

I don't care if their are only 2 nationalities represented at the moment. At this point I'm more interested in potential manufacturers to join the series.
