Ideally we could expect more clarification about MSport (Are they entering as manu? Who are their drivers?)
But I think I remember that we also expected that last year and all we got was "TBD" for their drivers due to some "special" arrangement and got to know about Lappi first in January.
The entries may close tomorrow, but don't expect the list to be released soon :D
But expected M-Sport news...
11 January is the dateQuote:

So Ogier has chosen nr.1 after all.
I knew it.
I think most champions would choose it.Quote:

(my opinion for many years)
Even if you think about PR..
There are a lot of people/,,fans to be,, who understand, that #1 on a car means the best/fastest..
News from that:
- only 2 Fiesta WRCs, Rally2 fiesta without announced driver
-Fourmaux not listed, so it is not sure whether he runs in Rally2 or WRC
- no Østberg in C3 ( but he can also pick other rallies)
-Mikkelsen in Fabia (so unlikely to be involved with MSport, at least at start of 2021)
Also interesting that Gryazin is in WRC2 with the VW Polo, what team? Possibly down to the regulations on WRC3?
Likely, but Abbring is in WRC3, so wonder what the rules really are.
SRT bought 2 Polo GTI R5Quote:

Also worth mentioning that Huttunen is not on the entry list.
So you think FFSA were bluffing for a better price? Rally2 could be Yates?Quote:

Suninen isn't convincing or kicking on lately, but if Msport lineup with Fourmaux and Gus as their two WRC drivers, it goes from a slightly disappointing lineup to a disaster. And confirms Msport would be taking a year off (only wise aslong as they go big on the 22 car development, and then employ proper drivers for 22).
which proper driver wants to drive a car which is not developed by proper driver? Only those "propers" who are without seat otherwise.Quote:

Anyway you could also list Gronholm in 2006. But they showed the car vs competition in 2005 Australia and it was clearly very fast.
SRT- Sports Racing Technologies is owend by Gryzin family located in Rīga Latvia. SRT is/was the official skoda r5 importer in Baltics. In wrc2 you can name any team you want just pay the entry fee. Diffenece between wrc2/3 is that in wrc2 you can have 10 mechanic per car vs 5 in wrc3
Yes, I know. Just thinking that in 2019 there were three teams in WRC2Pro and in 2020 4 teams in WRC2. It seemed a very expensive thing, I remember how Skoda had to pay 100 000 euros to enter in 2019 whereas M-Sport and Citroen got in for free since they participated in the main WRC championship.Quote:

I don't think if Monte was clearly not looking like going on they start spreading the entries like they have done today, but who knows what's happening in the ACMQuote:

French government will publish a list of departments where curfew will be advanced at 6pm from January 2. The region of Gap would be in the list (not yet official). Changes to #RallyeMonteCarlo schedules will take place in this case #WRC
Here the project #COVID19 #coronavirus

After studying the itinerary, I don't see how they can fit their days in the 6am - 6pm time range. It just seems impossible, unless they drop a couple of stages every day. Or they should get an exception for everyone involved in the rally...
i hope they make exceptions, otherwise im afraid it would be cancelled
