I like Abbring and am glad to see him get a chance with a factory team, but in WRC his experience is much less:

PWRC/R3: 18 wrc events; S2000: 5 wrc events

And Paddon with
PWRC: 16 wrc events; S2000: 10 wrc events, WRC: 7 wrc events

And frankly having 7 ERC events last year with so many retirements doesn't exactly make up the difference. Of course until they are on multiple rallies head to head comparisons don't mean much in terms of performance, but in experience there's no question...
Yes but Abbring is the test driver so he is driving a WRC a fair amount at the moment
