When I look in his statistics he has never win a single event of SWRC/WRC2 while he has been competing for 6 years. His only victory in Wales 2009 was spoiled by a disqualification which wasn't his fault but anyway it was already 6 years a go. Unfortunately there has been no visible progress through the years.
Brynhildsen is a driver with huge potential, but a lack of funds, and a too aggressive (puncture inducing) driving style has set him back. He is naturally quick, and by far the fastest driver in the Norwegian rally championship at the moment. But he has gone in the same trap as many other drivers, thinking that You can do WRC rallies with either Your own team, or a lack of funds, or a combination of both.
For him to be truly great he needs a solid team and a solid economic platform, and he needs to adjust his driving style a little. Cutting etc like he does is okay in a national championship event with short stages, and few km overall, and where You almost know every bump and rock, but in a WRC event its a no go.

We see the same with Lappi. I let EVEN Management know about Lappis challenges when it comes to driving technique, and warned them before 2015 that he was going to have several offs, but they chose not to listen. I am sorry to say I was right.
Lappi is also a very fast driver, but he needs to adjust his driving if he is going to be a WRC contender.
To fight for victories on tough and rough events with stiff competition over 300km+ is completely different to doing it in ERC or national events.
There are a lot of Young talents in this same position: Tideman, Lappi, Brynhildsen, Abbring etc.
Loeb finished rallies, one needs to remember that
