    I reckon that in lower levels you can only harden wrong habits. To become good WRC driver you must drive a WRC car among WRC drivers, everything else is pushing you away. About the pressure, it depends on your mentality.

    ... and that is why all fast drivers who recently managed to get into WRC circus came from IRC (Neuville, Mikkelsen, Meeke, Hänninen).

    ... and that's why Bouffier finished second in his second ever WRC start and first ever Fiesta start after plenty of seasons in IRC/ERC.

    Matthew Wilson for example...

    I can't think of anyone off the top of my head who benefited by being thrown pretty much straight into a WRC programme with a WRCar.

    I think you can benefit jumping into WRC straight ahead only if you're worthy enough. Let's see if that's the case with Evans.

    Of course I meant it for proper drivers. In WRC you can more quickly show if you are worthy or not. If you are not and make some achievements at lower levels you can only mislead yourself and others and become the next Tlustak or Betti.

    With powerful car you can also drive slowly at the beginning, then raise the pace.
