I know there are many who don't agree, but I think Oliver has less to lose in RC1 than RC2 and potentially more to gain. He can use the year to adapt to the more powerful car. If he underperforms, he can blame it on the car. While I imagine he'll do very well in RC2 next year, if he doesn't it could somewhat damage his reputation. The best reason to stay in RC2 would be to learn the rallies at a slower pace. At the end of the day, he's never even done the likes of Rally Finland once...
