He has said that, the power of wrc car isn't something new or extraordinary to him as he has driven a lot more powerful cars, BUT such aero is new and diffrrent thing.
So I wouldn't cross him of before the event.. or be bitter why he gets to drive wrc..

Problem is that he is trying it 2 years earlier than Rovanpera.
It all seems to be caused by his "need" to do something when Hyundai does a bad rally. He said it directly himself after Monte and now it's same story again.
In 2020 Toyota lost manu title while 1-2 in drivers because new Rovanpera couldn't match points of Sordo+Loeb+Breen.
If Adamo thinks Sordo (who is meh lately) and Solberg will match points of Ogier+Lappi with road position advantage he is nuts.

I think he can have good stage times on Spain, maybe even good result... and it will be at best a side step in his career.
Next years cars don't have same aero and don't have center diff so what's the point of learning current ones?
His problem so far this year has never been not driving fast enough with powerfull car. Instead it was driving too fast and/or unprecise with just about any car.
I want him to do well and progress, this season he hasn't progressed much, hasn't learnt rallies (hard to do retiring after 2-3 stages) and hasn't had much seattime either.

Sunninen in i20 Rally2 in Spain is great for all sides involved and certainly good news after "only" going to Finland in Rally2.
He can try different car, compare with Huttunen, and show himself to Hyundai (for part-time seat in Rally1 or fulltime Rally2 next year).
Note that Gryazins disaster performance in Greece certainly put Suninen in different light given his performance in Portugal in similar conditions. His main problem is how he did in WRC vs other MSport drivers.

I can only assume Oliver pays for driving WRC car. Craig doesn’t. That’s the difference.

From watching the interview that EstWRC posted in the rally acropolis thread, Adamo seemed kind of deflated and as if he's already been given the nod for his due date at Hyundai Motorsport. So I imagine, any decsions that's been taken from now onwards is from higher up the brass, and Adamo is just there to prepare the team for next year and nothing more. Just speculation of course but I wouldn't be surprised if we'll hear soon enough that he's out.
Only you know your true potential.
This year we rally #ForCraig

Sorry I forgot Safari but he did well in Italian "village" rally...
so "way" was too much, only better with WRC.
I agree with you that full season with Rally2 is best option.
He is 1y younger than Kalle but he has to accept that he isn´t going to be youngest WRC winner."quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"

There must also be some synergy between Oliver "upgrading" to a WRC car after Suninen bought the WRC2 seat for Catalunya.
