New to WRC--How should I watch and what should I watch for

[MrJan]

Now the rules are stricter but same for everybody.

Don't necessarily disagree, was just saying that it's been different until recently.

Of the Toyota drivers I think Lappi is the best prospect. He's not proven at this level but he is nonetheless a quick driver, and young enough to learn how not to crash. Hanninen is past that phase, he's an accident prone driver that's too old to change (imo). In fact that's probably the story of Juho's career, just a bit too old to have the breaks (seems to be working out for Meeke though). Latvala is one of the nicest guys in WRC and (unlike Loeb and Ogier) actually has a personality and feelings. He's quick when everything is perfect but more often than not suffers from psychological pressures, if the car is halfway decent then he can win rallies, but I won't be putting money on it for 2017.
