As long as i can remember, there have been privateers, private teams, dealership teams using, specialist drivers etc etc. Times have changed, but money hasn`t.

Man co-drivers' silly season is even more ''silly'' than of the drivers.

Bullshit. When Serderidis discovered rallying and did his very first events, Neuville was already driving a world rally car. (Besides that the company of Serderidis (ARHS) was much smaller than it is today.) Neuville was supported by the RACB in the beginning,with some other small sponsors he drove another year in a C2 R2 Max. After that he was supported by Peugeot BeLux, to do the IRC, while still receiving huge support from RACB. After that he went to Citroën to WRC. The main sponsors that got Neuville into the WRC are RedBull and Qatar, I think. I don't think Neuville or his family/relatives ever paid huge money for anything. He got where he is thanks to his talent, work, and thanks to very good relationship towards sponsors, fans and media in his early years.

I readed somewhere that Neuville was paying Nasser Al-Attiyah "help". So i guess it was Nasser who helped Thierry.

neuville was kinda the protegee of al attiyah in the early days of his wrc carreer.
i don't remember the exact details, but either neuville followed nasser to ford in 2013, or nasser has followed neuville.
in any case, back then it was nasser and quatar who supported neuville, and probably payed for his drive at ford.
i would say that there are not enough good drivers to fill in all the seats.
how many drivers would you say have a realistic chance of winning the world title next year? three?Last edited by denkimi; 23rd December 2018 at 23:57.
Solberg to Toyota would surprise me a lot, what would happen to Pajari in that case?
