I think some of you are nuts.
The only two guys that have so far been able to drive i20 WRC reliably fast on tarmac are Neuville and Sordo (even in rainy/muddy conditions).
Loeb has done ok when the conditions were actually mixed, less so in full dry.
Breen has 0 experience with tarmac in it and basically zero good results on tarmac in WRC (definitely with 2017+ car). His 3 spins for a 9th place in Catalunya 2018 in the C3 while Loeb won in it are his last performance.

Breen will likely be sharper and as it's been said - he has more experience on the Ypres stages.

It was also pointed out on twitter that whoever is the third Hyundai driver, he will be low on points (because of partial season) and start at the back, where it's very difficult to go fast, no matter who you are.

Also the option is there to move Sardinia to the date of the Deutchland?

That can give a other rally like say Croatia some more time to prepare..

The problem is that time is running out to end the WRC season properly…we’re at the start of covid’s second wave and the flu season can make it worse than the first one; that’s probably why Italy is trying to get Germany date, while Ypres postponement to late November seems a very risky move.
Even affecting manus logistics, rushing the remaining events, like initially planned for the restart, is probably the most (sole?) viable option to get seven events done.Rally addict since 1982

How would any of the proposed changes from this silly working group have changed ANY of that in 2025 or 2026?
