Have You missed years of GT dominance in Spain for example? GT cars are naturally very fast on particular stages in good weather and them beating S2000/R5 is nothing new. These weren't FIA spec. RGTs.
less good driver? Bonato is a big talent, but it was his R5 debut though, and Cedric Robert wasn't much faster than Nantet before his retirement. But anyways it's for several years now that especially Nantet can get a very high overall result in some big French rallies.
For sure Bonato is a better driver that Nantet. No doubt about that ... Bonato is a "professional" driver (he isn't eligible for amateur trophy f.e.), he was a top young gun, but couldn't find professionnal contracts at further times (and sponsors stopped supporting him the time he needed it).
Last year he was amazing driving the Adam R2. And here he was faster than Cédric Robert.
