Mats Lysen, – for the ERC at least. With 17 years of age the youngest European champion ever in RX. He drove an ex-Rautenbach Clio S1600 and I understood some people want him to switch to Rallying…

His father was a rally driver (Tommy Lysen) and he is living more or less in the middle of the forest - very close to classical stages used in the former ERC Rally Finnskog and also in Rally Norway. So he should have rallying in his blood. But for 2010 very doubtful, as the support system around him wants to see "their" young lad in Rallycross Div1 Supercars. He debuted in a Supercar at Lyngås track in september (having been given a dispensation from the age rules from the Norwegian ASN) and finished third, close behind Mikael Jernberg of Sweden and the Norwegian European champion, Sverre Isachsen. Among those Mats Lysen beat that day was Henning Solberg...
He is a talent, no doubt, extremely calm and focused to be only 17 years old. It would surely be very interesting to see him in a rally car.

Breen didn't drive a Fiesta S2000 but a fiesta R2!

He is very fast (in Fiesta group) indeed.

He is fast and young. So we have to be patient and hope the best for him.

And now they made him "Årets Bilsportsutøver 2009" (Norway’s Best Motor Sport Performer 2009).

Australia has some really good talent coming through at the moment.
Glen Raymond won his first ARC rally this year and finished second in the championship behind Simon Evans and in front of Neal Bates.

Brendan Reeves is also a great driver for his age (21), and has driven a variety of cars including Fiesta ST, Subaru and a virtually stock Mazda 3 MPS. Drives well on tarmac as well as gravel (8th in Tasmanian Tarmac Challenge in the Mazda 3 MPS, beating Skylines, Subies and Mitsus).

Eli Evans is fast but maybe his chance of WRC has gone. Did a year in the APRC with Les Walkden Rallying and has had a few big offs.

Nathan Quinn: Haven't seen much of him but is decently quick, only just got an Evo 9 after driving an ex. Atkinson Evo 5.

Ryan Smart: Another who drove an older car in 09 (Evo 6) but still was fast, but has a more powerful Corolla 4WD next year.
