    All true!

    Problem is: If driver wants to be World Champion he/she just must drive WRC events. Experience is needed before you can fight with "Big Boys" WRC/Rally1 cars.

    Also true. However I think it's less important than 10 or 15 years ago, when onboard videos were not (much) available and drivers took a different approach. Now the videos are all available for everyone and the current generation of drivers knows very well how to work with them.

    Ola Jr Nore won the title "Carsport talent of the year" yesterday, from the norwegian ASN.
    He there on videolink interview said the plan for 21 was to do full season in a Rally4 car.

    Guessing he continues in the new Rally4 Clio.

    Also I have to say:

    ERC2 is complete joke, every single event ERC3 drivers were faster than ERC2 drivers.

    Rally4/R2 is not faster rally car than Mitsu/Subaru, especially in gravel.

    It will probably be revitalised when the new Rally3 cars arrive. Maybe the juniors could start racing in there

    I don't know if he will want to become European Champion, but according to this article Solberg won €100,000 and we should see him in at least two events in 2021:

    Also Ken Torn should get some prize for winning ERC3, but I'm not sure what it is.

    Dont know, but first rally in mid March, they could homologate 1st March. Not sure where that project is at the moment.
    Not sure if it is Renault, could be a PSA car. He drove a Opel Adam R2 this year, and Opel is also coming into Rally4.

    Torn’s prize is two events in a Motorsport Italia Fabia R5. For Solberg the choice of team/car is free.

    You’ve mentioned the tough competition from drivers like Grégoire Munster but what’s your opinion of Alexey Lukyanuk, the driver who beat you to the overall title?
    “He’s Colin McRae number two! I always look at his videos and I really admire his speed, his attack and his passion. I love racing against him but it’s not easy because he’s always fast wherever he goes. He’s always crazy and fast.”

    What does the future hold for you?
    “The ERC is definitely part of the career plan. It’s a fantastic championship with a lot of Tarmac that I need. It’s fantastic for the build-up of my career with a lot of fantastic races. I don’t know what will happen yet but it’s not long until the New Year so we have to get ready.”
