Sure, of course I would - but I'm also realistic. There is no way - ever - that ALL the best drivers have got a top car - even in the Golden age of the 70s/80s/90s *delete depending on how old you are

I can't see anyone who doesn't currently have a drive who could regularly compete for a podium against Loeb, Sordo, JML, Mikko, Petter, Gigi, Atko and Duval.

Meeke, Wilks, Hanninen, Aava, Higgins, Tirabassi, Sola, Alen.... they're all quicker than Conrad, but none of them is a serious top 3 challenger - top 6 maybe, with the potential to luck into a podium now and again, but none of them is another Mikko or Loeb.
