It will be good if there is close competition between the young guns, but that still doesn't mean losing Kopecky makes it better.

It may be more exciting though if there are more guys on a similar level fighting.

This year it was Kopecky, then Bouffier close on some events, then Breen, then.......

I think Lappi/Breen/Abbring/Wiegand could be on a similar level and at the moment I would put them in that order. I think with Skoda Motorsport's support and driving in a series like ERC Lappi could improve a lot this coming year. Skoda will give him whatever programme is necessary to secure the title, providing he doesn't balls it up.

The only question is how much faster the R5 cars will be than the S2000.

Still hoping to see a decent ERC programme for some "old" guys this year, like Bouffier or Basso.
