We must also remember that Kopecky is 35 years old and has already been a WRC driver many years ago. Could it be that the teams are more interested in new talents for years to come?

WRC2 or SWRC before that has brought Ott Tänak, Juho Hänninen, Craig Breen, Esapekka Lappi and Teemu Suninen into WRC seats. During the same years, ERC hasn't produced anyone to the WRC outside the drivers on that list.
