Amazing! cool! I think scientists should study this amazing phenomenon......See I was under the grossly erroneous impression that driving a rally car or rally-cross car required a certain rather hard to attain skills-set, and some evidence that the person getting Press Releases writyten had aquired those skills...and stupid me thought---due to my limited experience in motorsport----that you get the skills and the experience and prove it in years of increasingly "higher level" competition..

Nope..120 million people and the guys best suited is amazingly the son of some ex-PWRC cheery picker.

I never knew driving skill and especially experience was transmitted purely thru genetic means but once again we see there's nobody better, more deserving, shows more potential. than...some washed up guy's son.


I wonder if these people choosing these little children who look so obviously immature, who don't even need to shave yet, so innocent---ever wondered if, when they decide to give a ride---and make big world-wide press release about it---

if they realise how the have ruined the credibility of the various race series by proving that those you are watching
you are watching because not who they are, but who daddy was (and how unfulfilled his dreams were).--not what they've done or know..

Genetics is so amazing..

Most Asian men have scanty facial hair and it's possible that they may never have to shave. Yes, genetics are amazing.
And I don't see anything wrong with a Japanese company supporting Japanese drivers. They are covering their behind this way so hopefully nobody in Japan can accuse them of spending money on some "unknown" European drivers.

If only VW had been more ambitious with it's German driver programme like Toyota are.

Well, I was to be honest. But time will tell. Not that I believe these two sons of N4 heroes will shine instantly. But let´s wait and see. I think they will be heroes on their homesoil, not in the WRC. Toyota knows that it´s needed more experience to become top WRC driver. Not maybe even Camilli or the other one (Iforgot his name) maybe even is enogh. Let´s be patience and wait.
