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.Colins Crest = Möldri Mätas

If it is up to backers then Jussi Tiippana has to be noted here. He is supported by KKK and Juha Repo so good advices should be available...

I think Don Jippo is on the right track.
No backer no ride.
We won't see anyone out of Australia again in a hurry.
I read an interesting article the other day in some motorsport magazine, where the author questioned just how good the "best of the best" in motorsport really are because they come from such a small pool of people.
His example was to compare football with motorsport. If you make it to the top level in football you must be good because the pool of players that you msut compete against to get to that level is huge due to the low cost of competition. Compare that with motorsport where for you to shine you MUST have decent equipment and already you've pared away a large portion of the population through cost alone. As you go higher the cost of competition becomes higher and higher resulting in even more finanical selection. So you end up with the best of a much smaller sample of the population.
Who knows perhaps there are thousands of Loebs out there!wrc.smugmug.com
