Hmmm... I'm hearing they (Jouhki and crew) want Kalle to head to MSport for a 1 yr only deal.
I would think this mainly because Toyota is trying to groom Katsuta. Bringing Kalle onboard will make Katsuta look bad to be honest.
I actually think Kalle is fairly mature for his age and experience. He can be a 3-5th place finisher and bring strong points while building his skill. I would pick Kalle over Taka-San, but tell that to Mr. Toyoda.Last edited by racerx1979; 5th August 2019 at 07:16.

Some guys just isn't great and he is one of those guys. Great that they see potential in him, but eventually no one will be interested in him except japanese-finish. And out there are many young drivers with far more proven potential than him. I would say Bergvist, Solans, Gryazin and Ingram.

Listening to rumors in various estonian sources - it seems that Meeke is as good as gone from TGR after this season and JML has "last warning". If either of them make stupid mistakes and ignore team strategy again, then they may get sacked mid-season.

Well, I will agree that Katsuta in a WRC car will be a disappointment in some rounds. However, given his background, he should do reasonably well in Germany and, despite the pressure, very well in 2020 Rally Japan which is the main objective of drafting him into the team this season! For those unfamiliar, he was a leading driver in Japan F3 before following in his father's footsteps by competing in the Japan Rally Championship rallies, which is mainly narrow tarmac.

It's OK, it's a short stage! Remember the FIA and promoter reserve the right to completely fuck over everything we all know, enjoy and understand about this series and sport. Or, maybe they might...
