OK, front runners may not be running flat out etc but he didn't make any big mistakes, kept it on the road and was not a lot slower in top machinery.

It's promising. Not world changing, but neither was Ogiers first events or even first year in top machinery. We'll see.
I’m not trying to argue against your point, but it did remind me of when Ogier got fastest stage time in, I think, his first event in a WRC car in Wales.
The conditions were horrific, with ice and mud inconsistently throughly the stage and it was just one of those little moments when you sit up and think ‘this guy could be the real deal’.
