But if we are talking about drivers from West Europe (not count scandinavians), in top 5 of WRC2 is only Greensmith (and if we count top 10, it is only Greensmith, Andolfi and 10th Lefebvre). Drivers from Western countries prefers to stay at home and be kings there. When they go abroad, they found it is not so easy to win. Which is a pity, I think there is a potential for them to show it - last year great examples was Sylvain Michel and Josh Moffett, who were able to set some good times and results on some rallies, but then went back home.
On the other side, some of fast drivers from national championship are going directly to WRC events. And they are usually lost there...
