GG is nowhere near these guys. Just my opinion, but hope I am wrong.

    You may be right, but I hope not...it’s always good to see someone new come in and do something impressive. I like Greensmith, I doubt if he is the next big thing, but let’s see how he goes...and not write him off after 1 outing if it doesn’t work out. We have a few young guys to look forward to seeing in a WRC car over the next few years, Huttunen, Rovanpera, Solberg and maybe others...let’s hope 1 or 2 of them really take the fight to the establishment.

    About Greensmith, I think he will be off the pace and he knows it, and won’t even try too much. Will be similar to Tidemand.

    I think its only a systems check for WRC, its should be more, but its not even streamed live on wrc.com

    After being watered the SD is smooth, not breaking up or cleaning much (yet) and wide+fast. Quite different than the rally.
