what about brandon semenuk? we dont pay much attention in the american series but this fella looks to be a good one

no experience of the wrc context, very hard to go for the points in a top team. would need a year - at least- of adaptation in a wrc2/2nd team...

He has almost no Rally2 experience, nobody would consider him for Rally1. There are plenty of national series heroes around the world that are nowhere on international level. He would be welcome in WRC2 though.

Sordo never got a WRC farewell rally, he would deserve at least one in 2026 (if he cares about it).

Why would they bring back some old guys, who haven't driven quite a long time and know they can't set top times with hyundai..

This comment makes little sense.

The three 2024 Hyundai drivers all won stages, led a rally and got a win and two podiums. In sum they got more points than Fourmaux this season from same number of events and the results are better as well (win, second and third vs third places). Competition is not exactly same this year as last, but it's the only way to compare and the most recent too.

For Paddon he did set top times in WRC Hyundai, but not Rally1. For Meeke we don't know if he can set top times in Hyundai.

The american championship is "village" level.

Semenuk participated at Finish rally and was very fast among the locals.
