Looks like my most specific prediction turned out to be the only confirmed one so far!

Bit miffed that none of 3. will have been correct and 5 looks to be quite certainly wrong at this point!

Hoping for 1. Next month...

1. Ogier winst the drivers title
2. Hyundai wins the constructors title
3. Neuville will have the most stage wins
4. At least one of the wrc drivers will have to be replaced temporary due to something corona related
5. Rovanpera will not win any rally

1. Hyundai wins manu title
2. Evans won't be top 2 in drivers champ
3. Rovanpera will get at least 2 podiums, but still wont be better than 5th in drivers champ.
4. Loubet will be better than Greensmith but worse than Katsuta over the year
5. There will be max. 2 rallies outside of Europe (Turkey counts as Europe in case it magically re-appears)

1/5 = epic fail, specially since I got 4/5 the last two years.

In my defense, first 3 are all related to Hyundai failures this year.

[atsiotras79]

1 Rovanpera will take his first win.
2 Ogier WDC.
3 Monza and Turkey will be again in the calendar in 2021.
4 Mikkelsen will finish top 5 in a rally with R5.
5 Toyota Manufacturers Champions

1. drivers title - Tänak takes it back
2. manus title - Toyota takes it back
3. we will have new rally winner (someone who have not won yet), Rovanperä or Breen
4. Solberg is best in R5 category in some rally (edit: Rally2 or whatever way you call 2020 WRC2+WRC3)
5. Additionally to already announced WRC drivers, there will be at least 2 new drivers (gentleman drivers excluded)

not that well measurable:
* WRC2/WRC3 will be more interesting and competitive than WRC
* Ogier may want to get team-orders, because Evans and Rovanperä are taking valuable points away and this is the reason why he loses title

4. Solberg is best in R5 category in some rally

This is again one of those "there will be jumps in Rally Finland" predictions
