    TEAMS & DRIVERS:

    1. Citroen
    -Meeke
    -Breen

    -Serderidis (???)

    2. Hyundai:
    -Neuville
    -Mikkelsen
    -Paddon/Sordo (4 cars on some events)

    3. Toyota:
    -Latvala
    -Tanak
    -Lappi

    4. Ford M-Sport:
    -Ogier
    -Evans
    -Suninen/Ostberg

    WRC2:

    1. Skoda:
    -Tidemand
    -Veiby
    -Kopecky

    2. Hyundai:
    -Huttunen

    3. M-Sport:
    -Camilli
    -Suninen

    4. MEM (Proton)
    -???

    5. Holzer (Opel)
    -???

    6. VW (Polo)
    -???

    7. Citroen (C3 R5):
    -Bonato/Lefebvre

    8. Peugeot (developing 208 Evo2)

    9. Toyota:
    -R4 Spec car (Oreca)
    -develop R5 car

    Maybe new formula for R2 regulations.

    2018 Junior WRC champion gets a prize of car (R5 Fiesta for WRC2) and budget I think with free pass and gasoline.

    CALENDAR:
    -Turkey replace Poland
    -Every month gets covered with rally (no big gaps) except december - april & october have 2 rallies.
    -Spain & GB swap places.
    -Italy have to confirm to held rally on Sardegna
    -Croatia will (maybe) have candidate event in 2018 for 2019 round.

    SPORTING REG:
    -Chicanes are under big questions...
    -4 car rule is probably dead.

    NO big changes... They have said late in 2016 that 2019 will have some big changes (maybe).

    Man I would be happy if they could cover more live stages not only 2 different and 3 total.. With drone tech still not possible or what. And placed cameras in all cars...

    I think they said the current regs are for season 2017-2019 so will just have to see what they come up with, but since the FIA are short sighted when it comes to the WRC, we have to enjoy what we have right now.

    You forgot to add: Part VI- Return of the Ford

    Wishful thinking yes? (but still you could have added that)...

    On the Ogier subject again, after hearing Colin's kitchen table, I was thinking if Ford are coming back next year, we might see Citroen out by 2019...which tbh would be quite a shame, the FIA needs to make sure what they have now 4(ish) teams in the WRC should stay for the long term.
