Serderidis got a P6 or P7 in Kenya somehow and that was awesome, in a way. Its cool because he (and Bertelli) were always around. Loubet also struggled A LOT the other years with Hyundai but its now in a better position, even never showing "much" too, at first.
I hope these appearences make the privateer interest grow in the long run. We cannot have WRC becoming a F1 thing were NO ONE CAN RACE HERE. I dont think Rally should have this mentality. Its just my opinions of course, but I think NOT exagerated in his opinion haha
So you only look at results. Fourmaux cannot finish in top 5 in the overall standings = he is as good as a gentleman driver?

Serderidis was seventh in Safari, but behind Breen and Neuville who used Super rally. Maybe that's the one event in the season where you can get to points by just driving slowly through, and there won't be a big field of WRC2 competitors getting ahead of you.
