But Evans never shown some special promises, all named drivers are bigge talents. I also dont believe so much in Gus, he has some talent and huge backing behind him, he is able to make some nice stage times, but he has problem to finish rallies without problems, he is not strong for fight for title (ok, if they will fight only with Pieniazek, he has a chance)

Greensmith is a hard one to judge - he started in an R1 Fiesta doing BRC and did not look quick at all, but he was neat and tidy and obviously learns quickly, because each time he steps up to a new championship or a faster car, he looks competitive.
I’m not for a minute suggesting he’s as good as Richard Burns, but the way he goes about progressing feels similar - unspectacular but quietly impressive. Will watch his progress with interest this year.

Sorry, completely my bad - for some reason thought he was from Northern Ireland. Edited.
I think that's harsh, Evans was very strong in an R2 and has always been the top Ford when in an R5. I sort of hoped he'd be in the new R5 later this year, but will be interesting to see how he copes with being expected team leader in WRC instead. Last chance saloon at the top level.
I agree with you on Greensmith, but he's really young. Another year or two in an R5 would probably be best for him and fingers crossed he can step up in WRC2 again this year. I doubt the WRC round will be the best investment though. Would love to see him try an ERC round or something outside the WRC calendar, but he seems very focused.Last edited by dodge33cymru; 13th January 2019 at 09:49.

I don't know who Greensmith is, where he comes from, who supports him, etc. All I know about him is his stages times and his position in WRC2 standings. Judging by those two factors he has much bigger potential than all those drivers who spend years in WRC2 like Veiby, Loubet, Tempestini or Brynildsen. Good luck to him!
