    Turkkan has barely any R5/Rally2 experience. 6 rallies with Fiesta R5 in 2022, 1 rally with Fiesta Rally2 in 2024, for the rest of the past 2 years he drove Fiesta Rally3.
    Is he really going for Rally1 without even a single season on Rally2? He probably can, money wise, but I don't know if he should.

    I hope the second seat will be given to Sesks, but I think Armstrong has a chance, for many years he's been works driver of M-Sport in lower classes.

    If the money can be found, then it has to be Sesks after his heroics this year and experience with the Rally1 Puma.

    Otherwise the Irish Rally Academy could put a big investment into one of their guys, probably McErlean.

    Somehow, I don't think Checo Perez qualifies as "another promising junior crew" - even if it was him in the test!

    Well, must admit I did not expect McErlean to get full season, but reading bits and pieces on Irelands Academy ambitions and funding, one could expect this to happen. History shows that getting full season with M-Sport without any experience is rather risky business - you must perform, not-crash and commit to the driver financially for several years - Camilli, Greensmith, Sunninen etc. The jump from R2 to R1 is too big in everything.

    If Sesks still gets some drive, it will be less pressure for him to perform at his max, not just roll till finish at 6th place.

    People: we need new blood on rallies, mainly in Rally1.
    People too: oh no, not that new...
