1. NOT every WRC event manages to cobble together a 300+km itinerary (I’m wording that very specifically to not include a 300+km rally with stage cancellations!)
2. Tänak will win the most rallies except for the world champion
3. Katsuta will win his first WRC event.
4. WRC-2 champion will be a driver who hasn’t yet won a WRC-2 round.
5. At Central European Rally a WRC-2 driver will finish inside the top 6.

1. Rovanpera and Tanak push each other so much and that results in some crashes an zero scores. Because of that Lappi becomes a surprise WDC .
2. Fourmaux is good with Rally 2 and towards the end of seasons gets a drive in Rally 1 again.
3. Ogier 5th in championship standings.
4. Lappi wins Finland - it is his only Win of the season.
5. Loubet - Zero podiums

1. Puma to break under Tanak's driving on more than one occasion.
2. Neuville changes to Lappi's car settings to speed up during events/ win. (Lappi's engineer/ mechanics boycott podium photographs)
3. Rovanpera and Toyota repeat Championship titles.
4. At least one 2023 event is dropped from 2024 champs due to spectator on stage/ traffic off stage major problems. (German & or Austrian greenies gluing their hands to the roads on stages? at the Central Europe Rally or Kenya - drivers stranded from Parc Ferme - hotel situation again)
5. Sordo signs up in 2023 for limited program (in 2024) with M_Sport/ NWM for RallyRaid and Baja events in the Ford Ranger. (2024 training year - a few European Bajas and a Ruta RR in Argentina)Last edited by Humber; 5th January 2023 at 08:51.

What's the first thing to come to...
