I personally want to hear news from Germany, Belgium, Italy, Spain and eastern europe.

In Belgium, we have 18 years Thierry Neuville who was very fast in East Belgian Rally and Rallye de Wallonie in the Ford Fiesta Sporting Trophy. Woman Melissa Debackere is still young, very fast and is driving a Toyota Corolla WRC. She was leading the 'Rallye de Wallonie', until she had a mechanical problem and retired.

In Germany, I predict Hermann Gassner junior.

From Italy, it is difficult to say as there are so much nice championships.

Jaroslav Orsak

He had very good pace in Eger Rally where he competed at first time against the much more experienced hungarians, so if his financial background is okay, the he might have a bright future!

[netamargr]

Forgot to add Jozef Bereš.

teufel:He also had very good pace in Saturnus,he was the second best Czech driver before he retired.The only men that were faster than him was Pech,two of the best Slovenians Kaučič and Peljhan,and Gassner.

Maybe it's because the gravity in Saturnus is something 0,9 times than what it is here on earth, that propably explaines the good speed

Esapekka Lappi. Not 18 yet and so haven`t done any rallies yet but in rallisprint`s he`s been dominating his class.

Earlier drove karting and won national title last year.

It seems that 2006 Ford rally contest winner Viktor Henricksson is showing some speed up there in Sweden.

Other question to Swedish members: who's Andreas Magnusson? He was setting very fast times before retiring. Young gun or old chap that never got a chance?

Andreas Magnusson is only 24 years old so he is one of the young guns in Grupp N.

Bernardo Sousa! Aggressive flat out driving with some pretty competitive times. He is 20-21 and I think if he is able to control himself is going to have a bright future!

[ropinirole]

I've been positively surprised of Matti Rantanen http://www.mattirantanen.net/

He is someone to follow in the NORF.

Not bad results I see. I'm impressed.
Nice to see in Sweden (post Fly) there is young fresh blood also. Nice!

Here in Holland we have Peter Merkstein jr. Don't mix up wit his dad sr. I think we see him already this year in a Focus WRC on selected WRC events.

[Affiltavajefe]

I Think Bernardo Sousa

Sebastien Ogier for sure. If Citroen support him for the futur.

This post turns out to be very topical, especially at the time Rally Wales starts.

What is a great performance for him? Speedwise or resultwise ? I'd say as a first outing with WRC, top six would be suberb, to the points very good.

[payloansday]

The competition this year in JWRC was sub par.....so although ogiers performance was very nice for his first year in the big stage he still needs to prove himself first on the Citroens telemetry data and then on the stages to get a seat.

Belgium's Mathias Boon won the Pirelli International Shootout.
He's 19 and showed some good speed this season.
With Thierry Neuville and a couple of other drivers, there is hope in Belgium.

I rate him higher than Neuville. Boon was setting fastest times during his first year in rallying. Neuville was fast as well, but often too optimistic and spent too much time in the scenery.

And rumour has it that he is even better than Loeb...On a Mountainbike

[jdynwa]

con graz to the guy, and its nice they have this kind of competitions, and now when the head is checked also, so nothing else but good luck on the choosed carreer.

[worldofwarcraft]
