It would be nice if all these nobodies neverbeens prove the things they want to prove on time and not after they waste their chances.Quote:

I get that impression and I really think Evans will benefit from running in WRC2 this year. I would not be surprised at all if he wins rallys in the future.
To be fair, MW has made the best of a bad situation with regards to Tanak and Evans' (not so great) performances last year... He has replaced them with a safe banker (Mads) and a potential hot shot (Eric), whilst allowing Evans and Tanak to drive his cars, gaining experience and getting someone else to pay for it. If they start to shine then he can simply bring them back into the main team whenever he wants.
I know a lot of people moan that 'he's in it for the money' etc. etc. but, the championship is much better with his cars/ teams in it.
I hope he will be indeed a 'different man' this year in WRC2. But it's early to judge, we'll see the reliability of the new Fiesta R5, but it won't be easy to beat the Skoda works cars for the championship anyway...Quote:

For example what color were Meeke's shoes?
And Paddon's?
Why it it so hush-hush about this? Lousy TV coverage of this is only getting worse!
And those commentators! GRRRRRRRRR! did you hear one word about any of the driver's OR co-driver's shoe color?
See? plenty to discussion, so YOU'RE WRONG!!!!:arrows:

Yes Evans will probably win WRC 2 this year and everybody will be of the opinion that he should be in a WRC Rally car ...yet what people forget is the R5 car will do max speed of maybe 110 to 120 mph - it would probably only reach the 120 MPH downhill and the proper WRC car will do what 135 mph ??? anybody know for sure ? and Evans cannot do the top speed that is why he is not a top line driver - the same as alot of the others -and i have even heard his father say this a few years ago in a conversation that he was worried that he would not have the nerve for the high speed .
