I'm sure he's fully capable to achieve a good result in NORF wrc 2, but to hail him as a new find is a bit steep.
Few years ago, 25 was young for a rallydriver. And still is, you can stay on top until 40.
Besides, a local expert doing his first NORF? Hardly. I would not count him out yet, until we have seen more of him outside Finland as well
