Yes I was serious and was in hope of a serious conversation around possibilities, expectations, limits and magic wands. Maybe you saw that as me defending him. Never mind.

Then sorry! It is actually a really interesting topic to discuss about, what would someone choose to do to improve WRC.Quote:

Munster and McErlean are only in WRC1 / Rally1 Cars due to financial backing. Neither has the proven ability or experience to deserve to be at this level.Quote:

(Plus on their low points scored, it's easier to make mistakes trying to drive a Rally1 without the required skill and experience).

Some updates to the 2026 season including reduced midday service from 40 minutes to 30 minutes, mandatory rest hours and standardised candidate events so we’ll no longer have an event joining the WRC calendar like Saudi this weekend.
It's now official #WRC

But he constantly winning with that car, while all other struggle each time.
It's not unusual for him to make odd appearances. Maybe there's no great conspiracy.
