    WRC2 is different story, this championship is not about speed, but mainly about reliability...

    I meant that they struggle both in speed and in reliability. Take Camilli for example, or Lefebvre who was very fast with 2wd. Abbring himself, no one were expecting astonishing performance in WRC but he didn't impress neither.
    Lappi would not be better than him at the moment in a WRC in my opinion. So, coming back to Berkvist. He is impressing now, no doubts about that but he has a loong way to go and it is not sure, even if he will have the chances, that he will be capable to reach the pinnacle ofo the sport. That's what I wanted to say.

    What´s unik with Bergkvist is that he performs well on all surfaces. Not many young guys do that so early. He´s doing mature performances and looks to make his pace notes also very exactly.
    So let´s hope money will not be an issue for him.

    Again Abbring is someone who moved on too fast. He never even got a win in ERC let alone a title. I think Lappi has more to show for his efforts so far.

    The WRC teams seem so obsessed with finding the next big talent they don't let them develop or prove themselves first.

    Meeke experienced being discussed as young coming star in JWRC not ten years later in IRC...
