I like the idea with M-Sport but I would say the best youngster (criteria to be defined) if no offer from manufacturer because, else, we could have some old guys trying to benefit from this (a bit like Bergkvist did at a lower scale in JWRC when a new Fiesta was offered).
However, I see a big con: he would a bit lower the responsibility of teams about launching new guys; and also, we know it, you generally need one year to master a car and then you can have some results. Maybe a 2-year deal with half-time the first year and full-time the second would be better.

It's super tricky now in this climate - there just isn't enough sponsorship money to go round! I think most of us would agree Oliver Solberg is possibly the most marketable driver in the WRC - certainly in WRC2 - yet even he is seriously struggling to get backing. For smaller names who have even less marketability like Huttunen (especially in a country where there are many other drivers who are taking the sponsorship money) it is almost impossible. Think we're at a precipice now where a lot of talent will never be able to reach their potential sadly...

i agree on one side, on the other would be just as good to have a good -even if older- driver if he beat the youngster in wrc2 , think about mikkelsen...
this will raise competition in wrc2 at worst, and anyway, this would work for 1 year, and there's not so much old guy anymore who could try...

Did Jan Solans get 3 points for his 8th place at the end of saturday? Wikipedia and WRC site shows he didn't, eWRC shows he did.
