Better that way. Msport will be in the championship regardless you'd assume, whereas Citroen would've had to pack up and go home if they couldn't attract one of Seb or Thierry. They needed a top driver.
Malcolm should just go get Meeke. He'll challenge for wins and wreck a few cars while doing it, but they're not going yo challenge for the championships anyway. Suninen has potential and should keep improving, but it's hard to be sure what Evans actually offers. Just doesn't seem to have the pace of the top guys on any surface.

That’s not a huge issue; Lappi and Suninen also jumped from R5’s to current WRC cars and they managed to adapt rapidly. Besides, most of young drivers haven’t been able to run WRC cars on a regular basis long before 2017, unless there’s a wealthy manager (or parent) supporting them.
Btw, Bouffier also run MC and Corsica on a new Fiesta.Rally addict since 1982

Ofcourse most of the talents competing in lower classes haven't been able to run WRC car, no matter what WRC-generation it has been. But with these new cars, the opportunity has basically been taken away even from the few who could have done it in the past (or so it seems). I mean cases like Hänninen in 2013, Nikara in 2012/2013, PG Anderson in 2013 or Breen in 2014. I think that is contributing to the current and seemingly static driver-up in the main class.
In a nutshell: no, it's not a big issue - yet. If the trend becomes permanent and we start to get more and more Tidemands, then I'd say it is a big issue.ku ois neljä pyörää ku vetäis ni ois vähän eri sekunnit kyllä pätkillä, sen mä takaan

I am from Gran Canaria. I am absolutely convinced that there will be no problem with the rally.
