Non factory team, won’t be competitive. Good for him, but I doubt we will see more than 5 seconds of him driving every race with the WRC coverage. Let see how well he pairs with the euro guys, but nonetheless it is a good stepping stone to showcase his ability and may be got some of the factory teams attention. ---

that is ancient news and is still more than likely not going to happen, notice that the story is from October. While it is being discussed though, he would make a top 10 finish only because there is a huge difference in skill between #1-4 guys (Loeb, Hirvonen, Sorto and P Solberg) and the guys running around #10 (Wilson, Al-Durkistan, Novikov, etc.) ---
