If this is going to be the career path of choice, henceforth, then I can easily see Evans getting a Fiesta WRC for Wales. Perhaps we need a thread to predict the best rookie result of 2013!

You don´t know anything about his performance in Swedish championship 2012 in his S2000 Fiesta, do you?

Or his strong performance in Evenrally Fabia S2000 ;)

His first drive in WRC Academy and with some bad luck, he show that with right support, he will be a really good rallydriver in the top 10....
In Sweden and Norway there isent any real tarmac rallys because of tragic accident in the past so Pontus showed this year that he anyway with a lack of experiense is fast on tarmac, and on gravel Pontus is as fast as Evans and the other guys!

Pontus is a great young rallydriver with a goal! Watch out! ;)

Yes Astro - Fabia it was. And Fiesta WRC in one shot... :o

True, I don't Per - who was he beating and in what machinery? As for the line about lack of tarmac experience - Evans wasn't exactly familiar with the blackstuff pre-2012. On snow and ice he should be able to make the most of his experience but I'm willing to bet a large number of beers that when they face off in equal machinery that Evans will always be quicker - do we have a wager?

No problem. We´ll meet in Finland and the loser buys the beers... at some place. Maybe Wednesday night at Paviljonki Sokos hotel? (If we have a result, that of course) :p

Astro - are you on?

With 8 euros/beer it's already quite some bet, if you bet for a few. :D

I'm in!!! always! :D I'm going to Rally Sweden and Finland this year.

Mintexmemory... Evans have much more experience then Tidemand on tarmac. That's it! ;)
But you will loose this bet, so prepare yourself! :P

Finland it is but it isn't going to be 2013 as Evans won't be in a WRC car until GB at the earliest. Of course I'm happy to accept head to head in WRC2 on gravel if it happens anywhere. My itinerary for the next 20 months is. Germany 2013. GB 2013 MC 2014 Finland 2014 and possibly Ypres or San Marino in 2013. But the prize can be claimed whenever we get to meet up in future ;)
