Sure Msport would've liked Gryazin in their team for WRC2 (+ some testing and 1 or 2 events in rally 1 car), but I guess that looks bleak due to how bad Gryazin feels the Fiesta rally2 is?

There is no correlation between driver's speed and their ability to develop a car. Some of the best test drivers never achieved anything on world level (Philippe Bugalski, Mark Higgins, Bryan Bouffier, Roman Kresta) while some top WRC drivers haven't understood their cars at all.

Silly Season 2022
Jorge Recalde used to do testing for Lancia. Lampi also worked for Audi in group B days. Sebastian Lindholm did lots of testing for Peugeot in the 00's.

We should mention Pentti Airikkala on that list for rally as well. He was active on this forum before he passed and was known for setting cars up well and coaching drivers. He only won 1 WRC event but was often in the background testing, doing setups or coaching.

As we can see Mirek's claim holds water very tightly
