My mistake, I skimmed over the news about Ostberg and thought it was about a wrc drive not R5.

According to this Finnish website (consider it as a reliable source) the fifth Finn driving the latest WRC machinery will be good old Janne Tuohino. Mikko Markkula will codrive and the car is 2017-spec Fiesta.
edit. So my pure speculation was quite close after all. Instead of Hänninen/Markkula it will be a reunion of Tuohino and Markkula, who drove together in 2005.
Is this reunion that big of a deal? If they're paying I get it, but its certainly not a great marketing move if Toyota is paying. Gronholm makes perfect sense. Maybe add Harri as the fifth car or even Katsuta and throw on some Pirellis for the guy ;)
Why should Toyota pay for a Fiesta?
Seem to me that we will have 14 WRC too: 5 Ford (Suninen, Evans, Tidemand, Bertelli and Tuohino), 4 Toyota (Tänak, Latvala, Meeke, Grönholm), 3 Hyundai (Neuville, Mikkelsen, Loeb), 2 Citroën (Ogier, Lappi)Quote:

- 4 WRC-teams, including Loeb vs Ogier-fight, local swede Tidemand in WRC-car, "Bosse" Grönholm comeback
- Minimum 27-28 R5-cars, including Rovanperä, Östberg, Johan Kristoffersson, Henning Solberg and a number of local/non-local talents who could make a surprise impact.
- JWRC-lineup that could be the most competetive ever, with national and european junior-champions from many countries.
Oh man, Rally Sweden 2019 entrylist is an absolute bombshell. :D Could be greatest rally in years, hoping that the cold weather and snow stays as well.
