There's no reason why a proven driver can't do that behind the scenes. After all we're two years out from the car debuting.
Of course, I realize that. But taking part in WRC2 for 2 years of these drivers mean that they can transfer the immediate output from the events to develop and test the WRC car. That's what VW did with Ogier in 2012 and it was perfect for the start of their 2013 season, wasn't it?
