Drivers championship.
1. Loeb
2. Hirvonen
3. Latvala
Manufactures
1. Ford
2. Citroen
3. Subaru
It will be intresting to see who will win the manufactures next year.
Hirvonen will probably win in Sweeden and Finland and Loeb will probably win all the tarmac events again.

Loeb will focus on wining Finland and Wales and will take them and the championship on the way. So, with everything done he will retire at the end of the season and we will have great battle for the title in 2009 with Hirvonen, Latvala,Sordo,Solberg and Atkinson.

Was going to agree with everyone but lets rock the boat..
I was talking to Monster Tajima in Amsterdam last week. The SX4's geometry has been reworked.. COG lowered and they've manged to find loads more power, its already 3 secs a mile quicker than on Rally GB with more to come. Which means...
Loeb to win WDC.. (yawn).. again..
Toni 2nd
Latvala 3rd subject to appeal and driving a Stobbart car. (see the Miko incident bellow)
Petter 4th
Ford and Miko get excluded/fined and a 2 years ban imposed after his rollcage was found to be the tank for a NOS system. After having a huge accident in Rally Ireland rescuers were stunned to find both driver and co-driver in fits of laughter after the cage safety cell ruptered in the impact.
Suzuki win and dominate all of the gravel and snow events.. and shock the world by claiming the Manu title in their debut season..
Citroen a distant 2nd
Subaru 3rd
The FIA are disbanded after corruption claims by Interpol following the Mac F1 fiasco. A new governing body is quickly organised by all the former F1 and rally legends from the 60's 70's 80's after a succesfull take-over, promising a democratic leadership and a complete shake-up, a new start and promise to bring back the glory days of when Rallying rivalled F1 in popularity.
Group B is to be re-introduced and noise levels have to exceed the current levels by 50% or are deemed illegal. Special designed electric fences ensure spectator safety on the stages while accomadating car safety cut-out features.
The rules are decided by the drivers with suggestions and ideas entertained by the new World Rally organisation.
Well, I can at least dream..The emergence of the new 'Rainmaster' - Mad Max at Interlagos 2016!

Unfortunately for the championship, Loeb will be dominate.
I hope Petter and Subaru will get their act together and finish 2nd!
Mikko will win a few events, and finish third
Sordo will improve, and be third
Latvala will be fast but yet unreliable,fourth
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
