For example:

https://www.ewrc-results.com/final/3...ti-ralli-2017/ +40 sec. for considerably shortening a stage.
https://www.ewrc-results.com/final/2...-kurzeme-2016/ A bit old and can`t exactly remember, if it was an issue-free rally or not.

Then there are other youngsters, a bit higher level than hobby-drivers, who have beaten him or been more or less equal.


Like said, from the age of seven he has had the best available equipment, even quit school for rallying. Logical, but yet to show if he is not just young and "stupid", not afraid of crashes and he can develop into a title contender. And people already want him to be replace Latvala in a team with a goal to get the manu. title.

No, most people who want Kalle to replace Latvala have no idea how these things works.
For Kalle it's way better to stay in WRC2 for atleast the next season, he is no hurry to hop into a WRC car, that article about a possible change was written by Spanish media and if you know them they write that crap from every sport all the time.

Hartusvuori nicely explained these already, but if you seriously don't know what that Martynas BMW can do you better check out the videos like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn5Z2Kly5rU or this before the car breaks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P3ALeoVpc0 there is absolutely no change to beat that with an R5 car and you really need to push with a WRC to match that.

This whole battle here started because people said that Kalle aint a talent but is like any driver who has a lot of money behind him, who hasn't proven anything or won anything bla bla bla.
If we keep talking about this subject more give us names, Juuso Nordgren could be one but what has he shown? Nothing yet.

And what comes to Pluto and his comment "Kalle is with Skoda because of his money" just makes no sense from a guy who is "respected" forum poster, I'm just surprised he mentioned Juuso before picking someone from ERC.
