    Yes, that was quite biased by them.

    I think it was Sarcasm from EstWRC.. Colin and Evans are British biased. They also all of a sudden have a big hard-on for Ogier after his stint at M-Sport. I'm sure if Neuville drove for M-Sport he would be the god of Rally.... We need some Journos from other countries to be involved...

    exactly, he did much better than i personally expected, but like you said, its too early to tell, he hasnt been convincing in WRC2 for me.

    and yes, that was a sarcasm and again i agree with you racerx1979, we need journos from other countries.

    Greensmith did pretty well on debut after just having one day testing since his last drive of the WRC Fiesta at the end of 2018.

    And it was interesting to hear how brave he was - that's never a bad thing.

    Gryazin's history was also quite a surprise, how he didnt like rally and the car revs after a family car accident. He's certainly put that behind him now !

    We could really do with seeing Rovanpera in a Yaris WRC before the end of the year and see how he does.

    Most likely he would do fine, but why rush things? Btw, has MSport confirmed the suspension or steering break on Greensmith crash?

    Well they had Gryazin on the show, not a Brit.

    Is it? Greensmith debut on a WRC car was vastly mentioned on this thread (as on Clark KT); asking for MSport explanation of his crash makes total sense, once many people still don’t know it wasn’t a driver mistake.

    He did just talk it away by saying the landing gear didn't deploy on Absolute Rally so i guess he's been told to keep a tight lip and that it just broke by itself

    First quote in this thread:

    "Know of any youngsters on the verge of breaking through?
    Local drivers with potential that you want others to know about?
    Which talents do we believe have what it takes to advance on the international scale?"

    And yes, GG still belongs to thread, but no, his car doesn´t. And happening at "your" rally doesn´t count either...
