It's not easy for them to go the experience of tarmac rallies since (at least in Sweden) every rally is either on snow/ice or gravel which is understandable when Sweden is full of awesome forest gravel roads.

I know. But it is same for czech drivers as we have only tarmac events and nothing on gravel or snow/ice. But if you want to be a top driver on international level in full championship, you must be good on all surfaces. But lot of drivers prefers to be heroes on their lovely surface and dont want to challenge other surfaces...

Does he mean that in an age multiplied by budget kind of way or a 'I just don't give a shit' kind of way.

I think the former, although it might bit a bit of the latter too...

He may be the next in the line of McRae, Lukyanuk etc ie. 'win it or bin it'.

The video is too long for me, but the shots in the first 2 minutes are beautiful! You should be hired by the official ERC video crew

If he does well in Poland, maybe they will get the budget to do at least next tarmac round. Probably not great on tarmac yet, but needs to learn.

I am not sure if the budget is the biggest problem. Usually it is fear of the tarmac...

In WRC he had a little less luck today:
