Silly Season 2024

Well it's official! Good that the news came soon I was getting tired of all the speculation to be honest

Should be a good fight between Toyota and Hyundai next year, I suppose we'll have to wait a lot longer to find out what happens with MSport.

Havent seen anything official yet, but I hope its true

well not "official", I didn't use the right word, but for me if Dirtfish published it it's as close to official as you can get.

It's a bit awkward when Tanak is still at M-Sport and has two more events with them. All the contract details may not be finalised yet either, plus there's the other Hyundai drivers to consider.

Thats normal in motorsport, it just rallying were announcements are usually so late that the public only learns of it after the season, but deals are surly done earlier than december.

The Dirtfish Podcast about this was recorded on the 21st of September and they say they got it confirmed on the 20th. Apparently there was an agreement between the teams to not announce it at that time.

I don’t remember them being wrong. They were the first ones also last year to write that Tänak goes to Msport.

Same in 2019 when Ott went to Hyundai, although back then it was autosport but it was still David Evans who wrote it.

Also other numerous news. I mean Nowadays all these sites know it before all the official announcements. Like Autosport with F1 for example
