Talsi-ralli 2016 - Kalle lead the event before the final stage, but lost 16s there for a reason I can't remember. Plus Samsonas' strong BMW suits well for those roads.
Louna-Eesti ralli 2017 - Kalle finished 3rd, 15 seconds behind a WRC driver, + Kalle had 40s worth of time penalties.
Kurzeme 2016 - Kalle drove part of the rally with only front wheel drive.

He was 15 and 16 years old at the time.

You can get annoyed by the hype and you can look at some of the results critically, but to downtalk his current talent is something I won't buy. No matter that he is brought up to be a rallying professional one day, he still is one of the most potential drivers out there. Same with OC Veiby, he has the backing but he sure as ever has the talent as well.

For sure Kalle is not WRC-ready yet, but he's well on the path.
