Not sure how good idea that is, the experience from there and with that car is not directly related to driving R5 or WRC on other rounds.
On the other hand if he drives in Europe in Polo R5 and then gets paid by Subaru to drive few US rounds, why not.

In the US you are allowed to drive from 16. He has a latvian license. Probably a dispensation on Rally routes or co-driver drives between stages. My guess however is that they will find a solution that he can get his US drivers license. My guess as well is that he will have in hist contract that he can drive his Polo R5 in Latvia for that championship, but I am not sure about this. I do not know what his contract includes or excludes. But a great opportunity for him to start with a factory driver contract at 17 !!
Have a great day, Rob

15/16 is the age for getting a learning permit in most states, and then maybe a few months extra for a license exam that may have some limits (usually a midnight curfew) again depending on the state. Any European license would probably be accepted, too.
Not sure how the Subaru will work as training for R5 or WRC, but it will have a lot of power if nothing else. As for competition there's Pastrana and Block who if nothing else know the roads. Dave Higgins will still be the man to beat.
Left field challenger would be Pitor Fatela in a Polish Fiesta kit car. He's done well for the last few years despite crashing his Subaru at 100 Acre Wood in 2016.
I'll find out in a few weeks.

In his interview for @ksmlfi, Marcus Grönholm in his role as @HuttunenRacing manager says that Jari Huttunen is still linked to Hyundai, but there are no drives promised for this season.

Can anyone tell me how Ingram managed to start 4th on the road with out penalty? Seems unfair if road position tactics can be played, with out time penaltys?
British & Irish Championships...
