Don´t think people setting more pressure on him than on Kalle a couple of years ago.
Yes about same "hype". It also got Kalle at one point IMO, when all he had to do was to collect the "obvious" WRC2 title and started off by crashing in first 3? rallies. He got back after, but things like that are not guaranteed.
Other than the Roger Albert dont think any current UK forestry events could remotely get anywhere near the required mileage and as you say nil possibility of anything new appearing on the scene woods...
