I wouldn't be so sure that Sirmacis can win ERC so easily. Being fast on gravel is not enough and on tarmac he's probably quite a lot slower than Lukyanuk and Kajto.

In my opinion Veiby jr. is not same level as Lappi was in 2012. Not yet ...but I like the way You think ;)
Wouldnt mind seeing Veiby on Skoda, but imo he needs atleast year more of something else. Sirmacis could be great addition for Skoda if he learns to drive tarmac also. okay saying Sirmacis would win ERC easily is bit much but me and I bet many others would rank him favourite for 2017 season.
Suninen would be great in Skoda works team.
About Sirmacis and his potential rivals in ERC 2017, I donīt bet for Kajto doing another ERC campaign. He got 2 titles and as I remember, Lotos funding only was extended to 2016.
Pretty sure Jouhki has other plans for Suninen but we will see.
What's the point for Suninen to stay in WRC2? He pretty much defeated all works drivers this year (not yet but he is very close to the final goal). If there is a chance and I hope there is he shall go straight to WRC.
Suninen in M-Sport sounds very logycal now.
