Official Young Guns (updated)

[A.F.F.]

I'd like to bring this thread up again.

Please name all the promising talents you think might shine in the future, no matter what the class is they're driving in. And if you more than just a name, please share it all

The forum is yours guys and gals.

Some great shouts here from 12 years ago:

Sebastien Ogier for sure. If Citroen support him for the future.

Well, Personally I just got astonished by one young Estonian. He just won group N in Tallinn rally.. and it was his second event in 4wd car and 1 event with new S14 :-) And he was faster than the current Estonian champion, faster than four times Estonian champion and faster than Toni Klemets and Aki Teiskonen and just missed out the overall win for Jukka Hiltunen (12.4 seconds). Hiltunen is driving Focus WRC03 by the way.
His name is Ott Tänak.
He has also done good job with 2wd until this year.

In Belgium, we have 18 years Thierry Neuville who was very fast in East Belgian Rally and Rallye de Wallonie in the Ford Fiesta Sporting Trophy.

And this:

Esapekka Lappi. Not 18 yet and so haven`t done any rallies yet but in rallisprint`s he`s been dominating his class.

Earlier drove karting and won national title last year.

And this one:

ok maybe im biased young irish lad won all round him in the festias this year graig breen he plans to do the BRC next year in a festia S2000 and this i hope will be a steping stone to greater things,so if the festia will be a it hopes to be you could have a new irish name on the brc title,would also like to see him do a few wrc or irc rounds as well

An early mention for Elfyn Evans !

Elfyn Evans ! He has a very smart father who is leading his carrer , hopefully he will be able to do one step more than his father and join a works team in the WRC

This guy was spot-on.

Hello first time post guys
Their are four drivers that are destined for stardom
Ott Tanak, Craig Breen, Thierry Neuville and Hayden Paddon.

Tanak is easily the quickest there with Paddon being the most consistent.
Paddon I reckon would fit well being the number two driver at VW (not being a bias kiwi!) as he is a very consistent and reliable driver and has proven to be able to test and develop a car given time. Not sure whether he has been able to prove himself though. Breen and Neuville are still developing but should be at the pointy end of the WRC field I a few years (I hope!) Any thoughts??

Rather sure that Finnish youngsters Jooa Iivari (15-y) and Tuukka Kauppinen (14-y) will be hard to beat at least on the national level in the future...
