Perhaps this is a discussion for a separate thread? "Talents 2019" f.ex. with leads and links to drivers we hope will make an impact.
I personally would love to discuss talents on the verge of WRC/WRC2/JWRC/ERC worth checking out and following in their local rallies. Especially outside the nordics, since I am swedish and limited knowledge/updated information on talents in other parts of Europe and the world.

Actually, I was impressed with Pieniazek last year in Portugal; he looked fast on the stages, making decent times in most of them. Besides, he was around WRC2 top 5 all season long (finishing on P5), which can be impressive considering he was only on his second 4wd season ever. If Ingram runs the WRC2 this season, I bet he probably won’t beat the Polish.
Btw, this talk about driver A or B running the WRC just because they’re loaded seems a bit stupid; do drivers run the national series or the ERC without costs? Without money (personal or sponsors) no one can succeed in motorsport.Rally addict since 1982

Speaking of Ingram... even when he wins money he cant get it !!
@autosport
Chris Ingram is understood to still be waiting for the €100,000 prize money he earned for winning the 2017 European Rally Championship's Under 27 title.

This is awful for a young guy with no personal sponsor (ie no rich daddy), and who has made his way by sourcing his own funding from sponsorship, getting results by his talent and attracting manu drives (Peugeot UK, Vauxhall UK, Opel) and by winning prize money.
The FIA (ERC) should be ashamed.Last edited by Fast Eddie WRC; 11th January 2019 at 15:56.

Rhys Yates @RhysYatesRally
Excited to reveal my 2019 WRC-2 plans here at the @Autosport_Show on the @autosport stage today.
After several years of progress and learning, I'm delighted to be heading into my biggest season yet.
It's going to be mega !

Bit disappointed if those are the only 2 M-Sport drivers for the year. No complaints at either, the more the merrier, but I would have thought the new R5 car would be more important to the company than the WRC one this year, so was really hoping they'd have Tidemand, Camilli or another pro to advertise that car and put it in a good light.
Re: the Ingram story, I hope that reaches a swift conclusion in his favour; if he has to go into some sort of legal action that could be the end of his career.aka Rodger Davies

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
