Loubet has never done any rallies in France, he didn't go through any of the trophies the talented French drivers come from, completely ignored FFSA and everything they're standing behind (the trophies, Rallye Jeunes etc). This year he suddenly appears with a few FFSA-stickers on the car and "it's clear that FFSA is funding those drives"? Come on... France has better drivers to care about than him. I think there's some big (private) budget behind him, regardless of the stickers that may appear on his car.

You're right I forgot he was WRC2 champion, even though he had only one finish within two minutes of the quickest R5-car (Wales 1 minute behind the WRC2Pro winner). Quite a joke, these splitted championships in the same category. Maybe I'm a bit biased about him, from what I've personally seen I can't believe he'll ever make it further than being a paying privateer. Anyway, my point was that I can't believe FFSA is paying (much) for him, certainly not in the way AnttiL states "FFSA funds his drives".
This year it's a bit sad in France with very little events, so hard to say who's where at the moment. Honestly I don't think there's any future top WRC driver among them right now, although some drivers have more potential than Loubet I think. The Franceschi brothers were looking very promising although Jean-Baptiste's results were a bit off this year. I wouldn't write off Ciamin yet, he's still only 22 years old. For Fourmaux I think he skipped a few steps, and that has backfired for him. Going from a 140hp Fiesta R2Junior in France straight to R5 in WRC events, and having a strange co-driver switch at the same time...
But going way off-topic right here...

Robert Kubica confirmed in an interview that we was interested in competing in Monza Rally. Unfortunately, it will be impossible, because at the same time he has to be at the Formula 1 Sakhir Grand Prix together with the whole Alfa Romeo Racing Orlen team.

I have to warn you. You need to be careful with opinions about Loubet. I was even more biased about him than you and have a look at what happened:
One year later Loubet won WRC2 and I had to eat my words!Last edited by Jarek Z; 14th November 2020 at 18:27.

I saw Loubet live with wrc at Alba and impressed me. Sure i can be wrong, but I think he can show something, probably more than Veiby and Greensmith...

Great effort to polish Monza Rally turd…
It just missed to say that the WRC will be decided on a Mickey Mouse rally, run on a highly Covid affected region, while the ERC will have its titles decided on a proper rally (with a remarkable entry list), run on a low Covid rate area. Hats off to Eurosport Events!Rally addict since 1982

Recently they have strange attitude. Also idea from Clark: Let's do 4-5 events in NZ and AU and stay there 3 month
First leg he will be thinking in Portuguese championship. Then he can go for WRC2.
