    Maybe both?

    Pierre-Louis is 22 years old and comes from Corsica. He is the son of Yves Loubet, European Rally Champion from 1989 at the wheel of Lancia Delta Integrale from the famous Grifone Esso team (see the photo below).
    He must have very good financial backing, because he spent the last 5 years in the WRC, actually without any success.

    That's about all I know

    You can read about him here:

    WRC2 Pro need to get more press and airtime if this is something the factories will continue to support.

    When not even the internal All Live transmissions bother to show their driving and interview them on all stages, what do manufacturers get back for signing up?

    They usually show them when they have the time. But often there's such short time between stages and it goes directly from. Stage 1 to stage 2 f.ex and WRC got priority. The plane, helicopters gotta move on etc, they can't cover many areas at once.

    But perhaps a bigger Highlights section for WRC2/pro would do well, I agree it's not that much prioritized as it is now

    They need full 25min review of WRC2/pro as it was later back with PWRC. In that case more TV time, more PR and so on

    And more than 40s of coverage in the daily WRC highlights programme.

    This year he has backing from Qatar, Eurodatacar and Oscaro.

    I'm guessing they are going to be pretty substantial backers.

    In all the years he has showed some good speed every now and then, but also crashed a lot. Obviously this changed. If he continues to improve he might be a contender for a WRC seat.

    Don't forget that he was driving i20 R5 in the past and virtually nobody achieved any international success with it.
