I can`t think of a reason, why Škoda wouldn`t allow Tidemand participate in a WRC car with M-sport on those rallys they don`t take part of. Especially with these rumours about Škoda WRC in near future, experience is needed. The biggest issue would probably be that M-Sport wants money, Tidemand and his manager aren`t paying customers.
Also, Ostberg is still working for a competitive WRC in an official team and WRC2 is still just an option.
All I know that Esapekka Lappi wasn't allowed to test the Toyota Yaris WRC when he was driving for Skoda (or at least that's what they officially said). https://www.mtv.fi/sport/ralli/uutin...398#gs.Z=ZtrR4 (in Finnish, at the very end of the article)Quote:

I will not miss the cold and the early morning alarm clock though :D
Curious to see Tanak in the new car, Ogier motivations after a strange silly season and how Neuville will start the new season.
Also curious about young guns Rovanpera driving in this rally (he will participate right?), Huttunen (is he in the list as well?) and I hope Suninen will join Fiestas for the whole season or a large part of it.
Can't wait the new season to start.
Huttunen will start from Sweden, also Östberg has said he will not do Monte.
Is that "Autoshow" where teams will present their liverys before that publishing of entry list (12.january) ?
Yes I believe the press day was on Thursday 11th at Autosport International.Quote:

This is what I got out of different sources. Don't shoot me if not everything is correct, feel free to add names!
I read on a French forum that Huttunen did a PET Monte test, so maybe he will be there??
Seems like ACM will not need to cut any entries from the max number of 80 .....
There actually was pictures of Huttunen doing tests in Monte condition (with 18" wheels) but official info is still starting from Sweden.
