    That Scandola chap needs a WRC car next year (although there wont be one available), he was leading WRC2 last year too. Handy local driver.

    I also believe he lost ground under his feet and got too self-confident.

    Last year it was Andreucci.
    He is the proof that the three faster italian drivers (I put Basso on the same level), should have deserved an international chance and they could have had a role in the pinnacle of the sport. It is too late for all of them, and it is a big shame.
    Maybe I think this only because I am italian. But, at least in the latest years, it has never happened in any other country that a local driver of the rally who never partecipate to WRC2, was among the best of that category

    dont judge him so early.Paddon definetely has the most potential from any other right now.He has speed at every rally(ok except asphalt) works hard,but definetely last step is the most difficult.We have to wait for sure.
    Other guys are plenty of years at wrc level and cant win a single stage.

    Quentin Giordano had to leave in the special 5th Rally of Sardinia. Quentin was in a good rhythm, being both wise and close to the Top 10. Unfortunately he ripped a wheel and damage is too important to leave in Rally 2. Everyone is disappointed, but there will be better days we will capitalize on the positive lessons.
