    Oliver has to finish 2 or 3 more races i wrc2 to secure the WDC. But interesting to see if he do 1 or 2 more WRC1 outings this year, i think so.

    A lot may depend on how well the other Toyota team drivers perform in the next events. If they do well and the Manufacturers points scored are good, then they may not need Ogier in later events and Solberg can step in to his car.

    Do we know if Oliver will do any tarmac rallies (in Rally2) this year? His performance on tarmac has been a bit of a question mark as I've understood it.

    No shortage of backing so he will do all the events practically available to him and depending on if and when he wraps up the WRC 2 title will decide when he gets another turn in the Rally 1 car.

    From a UK perspective though would be good to see him do the Roger Albert Clark historic rally again in November...

    Oliver did not spend much time in the US. It generated a lot of publicity as his father was also around and you'll see more Subarus (competititors and volunteers) at ARA events than anywhere else.

    Driving a car that wasnt terribly limited by WRC rules is a good start but I'd think he's gotten more substantive experience over the last five years.
