In F1 there are simulators pretty close to reality. In rally only onboard footage. Abbring needs mileage, mileage and mileage as much and as long as possible. All the other youngsters with lots of cash in their early careers like JML and Mikkelsen were able to drive around quite anonymously for years under the banner "very talented but needs lot to learn", only to be seen in you tube in case of big crashes... Abbring never had any budget and was even at home in beginning of 2013. All the guys here on the forum who are judging him now are very very very good my congratulations they should make a lot of money as Top Advisors for the WRC teams. I'm impressed....
