    Yes, but then again, what class is a driver thats tries to kick-start a career supposed drive in if not in WRC3?
    This is a bit of a catch22!

    And proves again that we need one rally2 class, and may the best crew win!

    Well he could have potentially done up to 3 rallies on snow between now and Monte, problem is the border crossings to Norway since they have it in Sweden and he is also in Sweden atm (vid from the indoor ski tunnel in Sweden today). Dunno what the rules for crossing to Finland for Arctic are at the moment.

    Veiby is driving in i20 on 29.

    No special person, but lets take Abbring as example, if he is not allowed for a wrc3 series, does he then need to start as a privateer in a Rally2 car. How far back in the field does he then have to start? Behind all fia series?

    In my opinion the 5-years rule is quite harsh. Especially during these tough times for rallying. Abbring was nominated 2-3 times five seasons ago. Even F1 was less strict with last "young drivers' test".

    And then the Solberg Test Team goes to work with a new car, getting to know and understand it down to the details.

    Petter, Henning and Oliver will have a ball!

    You have to use all your skills. Not only driving. Good for the team.
