Gryazin is 12th with 22 points

Oh, sorry then. I didn't expect him to be so low.

Gryazin was a big disappointment this year, although he didn't really have much big WRC2 level results before either

Funny thing is that he has identical number of points like Veiby in WRC2, but is so much lower than Veiby in your WRC2/WRC3 standings.

Guess that's why he kind of got kicked from there and suddenly Adamo talks nicely about Huttunen again.

Thanks for the link. Your table clearly shows that Huttunen was absolutely the best WRC2/WRC3 driver this year.

But what did Adamo expect? Didn't he know that Gryazin comes from the same brutal all-or-nothing breed of Russian rally drivers like Lukyanuk and Novikov?

Gryazins main problem this year was that there was just the nothing.... not even crashes, just no speed. But I guess i20 R5 can be hard to drive.

Anyway I remember how after rally Estonia last year people like Colin Clark were saying how both he and Solberg will be both in WRC cars soon...

In 2018 Gryazin was the runner-up in ERC and managed to win one Finnish Championship event ahead of Lindholm and Pietarinen. That's when I thought he's got something...

In 2019 he moved up to WRC2 for his first ever WRC events. He was second best RC2 car in Corsica and Finland. This year he was second in Mexico but two minutes behind Tidemand.

The difference between Veiby and Gryazin is explained by Gryazin finishing a couple of times just outside the RC2 top ten, but still scoringh WRC2 points because there's so little cars in the series. Meanwhile, Veiby's 0 results are retirements so they are 0's on both lists.

Lukyanuk is 2 times erc champion,and one time 2nd
