Loeb and Solberg are no joke, and any sport they respect is a sport I respect.
Well WRX is only at it's 4th season so far but I disagree that WRX have been that exiting in 2014-2015.
In 2014 Petter had almost no real opposition but it was a bit better in 2015.
IMO, 2016 was the first proper year of WRX. It had 5 different event winners and it was pretty tight finish to the season.

I think WRX will suffer from the same problem that plagues WRC for many years and that is that if you are not in a factory
team (full factory team or a team with manufacturer backing) you probably won't have a chance of winning the title.
I think the more the season progresses, the more it will show that the factory team cars/drivers are those will be most successful.
Outside of them I think Bakkerud are the probably only one who might be able to challenge the factory drivers.

I also don't think anyone have said that the WRX is joke and most certainly no one said that
Loeb, Ekström, Kristoffersson and Solberg are a joke because they are certainly not.

My personal opinion is that WRC is more exiting then WRX, despite Ogier's dominance.
