Sounds like a correct description and it definitely doesn't work when there's a small jump in the middle of the corner!

Steve Røkland, Norway, fastest 2wd driver, won BRC, dreams about JWRC but don't have the fundings. Really don't understand why some of the sponsors and managment in Norway don't help him.
Sindre Furuseth also has some potential, really bad season in ERC last year with an unreable Adam R2, try to rent a fiesta in JWRC in 19.

And dont forget that one thing is to be fast "at home" and quite different is to be fast also abroad.

My point was that in the very first rally he did with that car, he won all the stages, beating the previous champions right away. In that last event you mention, Eerik was already confirmed champion so he probably took it easier. But yeah, I would name Gryazin also for this thread, a fast, talented young guy.
I think I didn't

From France: Adrian Fourmeaux. French Junior Champion. Very little experience but I saw him drive twice and he looked very impressive. Dominated the season in France. Debuted in an R5 car in Rallye du Var and was straight away on the pace for the podium. But he crashed in the end.
He will do WRC2 next year with experienced codriver Renaud Jamoul. Someone to look out for.
From UK: In Ypres I saw a few talented drivers, who could compete with the local drivers in R2: Callum Devine in 2017 and James Williams in 2018. Callum Devine did some JWRC rallies last year but didn't impress there.

How about Gus Greensmith? Only 22 years old and already 4th in WRC2:

He seems to be fast and consistent, at least in an R5 car, and has much experience despite young age.

We'll find out this year, he's doing a nearly full WRC2 campaign with a WRC round in Portugal.
In addition, Brits like Jon Armstrong, Osian Pryce and Chris Ingram are all very quick (and Rob Duggan from Ireland), but there's very little backing around to support them stepping up. That said, it's fair to argue that none of them have shown the same promise that Evans did previously.Last edited by dodge33cymru; 13th January 2019 at 09:36. Reason: me getting Rob Duggan's nationality wrong
aka Rodger Davies
First leg he will be thinking in Portuguese championship. Then he can go for WRC2.
