He's not even second class behind the best drivers. He's third class at best, somewhere between the faster gentleman drivers.

I don't see why anyone would want to put him in a wrc car.
Veiby has won WRC2 once, it was in Poland 2017. He often makes outrageously fast stage wins but is unable to retain this pace throughout a rally and/or crashes.

One explanation could be that Veiby and Gryazin (who both brought a big budget to their WRC2 programs) had a deal that included a prize drive for the one with more WRC2 points at the end of the season.
