The 3 winners of the Beyond Rally program with the prize drive in Central Europa in Fiesta Rally3.
A bit surprising not to see Raftery which was the most experienced.

Not an easy one for Schonborn to almost begin in straight rally with a WRC round (just one e-rally so far where she did rather good).

For me it is quite nonsense to send them directly to WRC round...

+ with a 4WD car.
Globally agree on that point, I’m skeptical about making such a big jump without a transition period with for exemple Rally4 car in ERC.

Baudet sounds in better situation for Central Europa with more experience on pure rallying and tarmac but still a big jump from Belgian championship RC5 drives (and e-rally cup).
Should be much harder for the Finnish one IMO.

Schonborn can be surprising on some stages with her hill experience but I doubt she can match on a full Rally all 3 days.
