2018 Crystal Ball Thread

[Mintexmemory]

As I have left this rather late I will accept predictions up to the end of January but only those made before next Thursday regarding RMC will be considered valid (20-20 retro vision not counting).
Award for most of 5 predictions correct (please exercise some self-discipline in sticking to just 5 - no multiples in one sentence danke!)
Honour for the most extreme prediction that turns out to be correct (My decision is final)
Dig out the runes, the I-ching and the Tarot and let's go for it!

So I'll kick off

Ogier to take his 6th Championship
The Loeb return turns out not to be what Citroen want from it
Hyundai replace a driver in the second half of the season
7 different winners this season
The title only decided in Australia

[NoName]

A.Mikkelsen world Champ
Østberg top 3 in Sweden
Citroen last season after a new bad season
Ogier not in top 3 in championship
Hyundai win the manufactor championship

Got quite close to one of my predictions in Sweden, although it seems I'm playing the late game...

Rally 2 is practically retirement. Otherwise there are only several through the season and whole 2 last rally.

1. Correct
2. Correct (according to his statement in an interview)
3. Not correct? Can we count in Portugal and Argentina? Corsica was his only clear crash of the season. In Catalunya he broke the wheel by touching the barrier, not even going wide like usually on VW
4. Correct
5. Incorrect
