I don't agree with that. I think that both Nil Solans and Huttunen for example have shown in the last couple of years that rookies can be decent behind the wheel of a top class car even in their first start. So to me it's quite obvious that the top WRC2 guys would be better.

So it's not about the lack of depth of drivers. Unfortunately there are few teams/cars and it's way too expensive for talents to give it a go on their own. You need a big sponsor or support from the federation and those things are hard to come by.
