    Exactly! In the times when Loeb, Ogier, Tanak or Mikkelsen were starting their careers it was possible to drive WRC cars without being in a factory team. I think Mikkelsen had had over 30 starts in a WRC car before he joined a factory team. Now it is actually impossible to drive a current WRC car as a private driver. Both Tidemand and Greensmith are victims of this situation. They have to learn this car during a WRC rally.

    Have a look, Mikkelsen was driving a WRC car already in 2006, 7 years before joining Volkswagen Motorsport in WRC, he had plenty of experience:
