There are money behind Novikov in my opinion. They already tested C4 WRC...
anyone knows which PWRC and JWRC drivers already confirmed their plans for 2009?
With todays rally market where everything is about money back up i`ll guess Paris Hilton will be next years rising Young Gun.
Another good year for talent spotting, one of the best I can remember.
This year the expectations for Ogier and Novikov have become reality, both have shown huge potential and Ogier some unbelievable results too. So much that I even bet for him winning WRC Rally of Wales overall!
Novikov is so young that his mistakes and unconsistency are totally acceptable. His raw speed is something I haven't seen ever!
My answer to these talent threds have been Jarkko Nikara for some years now. his year he has shown amazing speed but really until Pirelli star driver competition his results have been disappointing. But the speed is there, and I'm looking forward to next year and his pwrc results.
About Tiippana, I don't have any faith, the same goes with Pinomäki and Miettinen. Ketomaa and Salo are really fast, but maybe too old already?
This year there is a totally new star in Finnish rallying. His name is Jaro Kinnunen (18 years old). I will quarantee that you'll hear about him in the future. His resuts and speed has been totally amazing this year, he drove 12 rallies with an old Honda Civic and matched the speed of some experienced national champions and 4wd cars. It is easy to admit that I'm one of the many many drivers he could easily beat. Comparing the in car videos it simple to see, he just drives faster and doesn't do those little mistakes I always loose time in. He is on the limits everywhere but never drove off. Not even once in 12 blind rally-competitions!
Esa-Pekka Lappi is even younger than Jaro, I 've seen his driving live only twice so I can't analyse him yet. Exceptionally fast kid he is!
So it looks bright for the future talent wise. Let's hope the economics allow these stars to shine!
What is your opinion about Rantanen Sami?
