So, when you have an opportunity to obtain a good amount of drives, I think you have to take it. With Tidemand and other youngsters, we have seen that when you wait too long, one can never reach the main class.
The issue then is to show something in terms of consistency and, after that, showing some speed; the issue for a young guy is not to forget priorities.

I have the same idea about Camilli in 2016 even if, in his case, it was really early. The same for Fourmaux (but M-Sport was more cautious with him).

Here for Loubet, he had more than 10 drives to see what is the level of WRC cars. Now it is time to deliver and he has taken the best car for this.
Camilli, Fourmaux, Loubet -- same story. For all of them it was too early to step up so high... On the other hand Tidemand is quite different story...
