]How about Yoann Bonato?

Now I am proud to let you know Netherlands will be a rally country. (I hope)

Former N4 drivers -in Dutch and WRC rallies- Hans Weijs jr and Kevin Abbring compete in JWRC this year.
Weijs jr will drive in a Citroen C2 R2 MAX and Abbring does the rallies in Renault Clio R3.

The goal for the Citroen driver is finished by the first 3 in the championship.
(I think its a little to high in his first JWRC year, although he drives in N4 a lot of WRC rallies last year.)
Abbring is in a learning year. He learn and hopefully he can score some points.

Both will supported by KNAF (Dutch racing organisation) and NOC/NSF (Olympic Comity of the Netherlands/Dutch Sport Federation.

I am happy our Sport Federation want invest in rally.

It's the first time a Dutch team has entered one of the "supporting" championships in the WRC. After last year's relatively successful participation of Jasper van den Heuvel and Hans Weijs jr. in several WRC rounds with the Group N Lancers, KNAF and NOC/NSF are giving a great opportunity to two very young and talented Dutch drivers. Weijs jr. has gained a lot of experience last year and should be able to do well (although a top 3 Championship finish sounds rather ambitious to me, a top 3 JRC finish on any rally would be a big achievement in my opinion). And Kevin Abbring has shown in hist first season in Dutch rallies that he is fast, this is an excellent chance to learn about rallying at the highest level.

Polish driver Michal Kosciuszko (19 in 2006, 12 in 2007) will probably continue JWRC program this year in ex-manufacturer Suzuki Swift S1600. It's nothing official though. He will also take part in Polish Rally Championship in Fiat Punto S2000.

And fast Polish drivers,what is Prokop's plans?Beres?

Prokop is from Czech, and Beres Jr. from Slovakia.

I heard that Perego is also looking for a JWRC program with C2 R2 Max.
