That´s absolutely the BIG difference. driving without pressure.
One has to recall, Tidemand (this particular example - there are several others...) not drove much more than WRC2 rallies. In between there were not many occasions for him to get additional experience. Not like our Mr Katsuta, whom I wish all well in his career, of course."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"
Tommi Mäkinen, back in the years...

Like it is the state also in any other country. Only thing that can be argued is that the support of local motorsport authority absolutely sucks in Sweden. But also for this the situation is the same in most other countries, with few exceptions (like FFSA in France).
EDIT: Dammit AnttiL, beaten

I can see Katsuta driving also Rally Japan 2020 in a Yaris WRC. Since they want to abandon Tour de Corse and he need to prepare for tarmac.

I was looking again at Tidemand's times from Monte and Sweden, and whilst there were a handful of really poor times his performance overall perhaps wasn't as bad as the memory told me. On the other hand there were no real eye catching performances either that might excite a team manager or sponsor.
I do hope he can find some more cash and do a couple more events to show us something more.

Toyota could maybe run a 'A' team and 'B' team next year. (Rovernpera and Katsuta).. 2 cars each, and notimate a 3rd driver from B team
