Official Young Guns (updated)

Yes, me too. On snow and gravel it seems very good. The reason I'm so excited about him is that I heard about him just recently.

I would like to see him in a SWRC/IRC tarmac rally to see how his speed is compared the other SWRC/IRC top drivers on tarmac.

Esapekka said in Savon Sanomat earlier this week that he will drive one IRC tarmac rally this season.

He also said that if his co-operation with Even Rally continues, he will do IRC next year.

Lappi seems to be an exciting prospect from I've seen, does he have good backing to go further?

I'd say better than average backing. I'm sure Veiby isn't disappointed, two S2000 starts, two wins...
 
Today the swedish Pontus Tidemand won swedish national championship rally. He beat Mats Jonsson on the penultimate last stage with 19 secs and took a win of 1,5 secs with his ex Mikkelsen Skoda S2000. He did a very good performance as you all can understand, having only one time recce and own pace notes. I´m longing to see him in WRC in the future.
 
Who is backing Lappi anyway? Sprint-sport? What about Korhonen? Can he be something big aswell?
Last year in Saaremaa he was ahead of Lappi before he crashed. It was 1st start on 4wd for both of them?

Lappi is backed by Even Rally, same as Mikkelsen and Tidemand. EVEN Rally
 
French Junior champion Sebastien Chardonnet to contest 6 rounds of the WRC on a DS3 R3T.

France really seems surfing on Loeb's wave. Plenty of good young drivers. Future is promising. I'll go to one or two rounds of the French championship to see the guys "live".
 
Why do some consider the IRC rules unfair? I dont really follow IRC as a championship so I dont know, I only look at the winning drivers to see what the future WRC will hold.
 
In theory it should work like GP2 (expect less corny and full of nobodies) ie, the winner, runner up and richest brat in IRC/SWRC should expect to be picked up by an established team in some capacity.
