Yeah I forgot that he drove as privateer in 2006-2007. Was tough time to get in. IRC was indeed better competition than wrc at least for a few years before others(Peugeot) fell off and Skoda started to dominate.

Could almost think you are trolling?
Neuville won his first WRC rally on tarmac and won Corsica last year.
Sordo won his only rally on tarmac and used to be the defition of tarmac specialist since Panizzi retired.
Mikkelsen also won his first WRC rally on tarmac (well ontarmac+gravel in Spain). As mentioned he also drove same car with Kopecky on Monte and Corsica and was clearly faster.
When a trio of tarmac drivers like this finished as last 3 wrcs on 2stages in Germany behind Suninen in his first tarmac rally and behind Řstberg who didnt drive on tarmac in 2 years and was never good on it, it certainly stays more about the car than the drivers.

Sorry, should have explained my idea better. Of course I didn't mean that Neuville would be a bad tarmac driver, or Sordo...but Sordo seems to have trouble finishing tarmac rallies as of late. Crashed in Deutschland 2017 and 2018, Catalunya 2017 and Monte 2018. They won't win manufacturers championship if Neuville's the only one who scores tarmac points.
So maybe they need to have Neuville, Sordo-Paddon and Kopecky-Mikkelsen

Ciesla expects this to be ratified by FIA's World Motorsport Council's next meeting.
