Not only in WRC but ERC also. That could be last Rally Poland in this region, there were rumours of moving it to tarmac roads in Silesia. In ERC, there should be two another fast gravel rallies (Scandinavia and rotating Latvia/Estonia) so it could be easier to get calendar spot with tarmac round.

I wouldn't be surprised with Mikkelsen getting some extra gravel round this year, he was fast in Greece in rally2 and Lappi crashed in Chile last year

Win would be ridiculous. Podium - dreamy, but after Poland everybody will almost expect a podium which is kind of unreal. Stage win probably will come. I really hope it does not happen, but it is highly likely, that because of a big pressure from Latvian rally fans, Sesks will try to beat WRC regulars, will overcook things and will go off the road.

Information is circulating in Latvian ralllying comunitty, that Sesks's car will be upgraded with Hybrid unit for Sunday.

Tanak is World Champion and doesn't need just pointless mileage. AND what points did Hyundai lose bc of Tanak retiring this afternoon. Cry harder.

lol, calm down. I bet if they swapped places and Neuville retired like Tanak did today, half of the forum would be up in flames "he doesn't want to clean the road for Tanak, he's not a team player, Hyundai is team Neuville" and more tinfoil hat conspiracies.
Also, probably someone DID ask him, unless you think Neuville summoned a press conference just to say that?

No it wont. It's just not possible.

But he has shown that hybrids add absolutely nothing but costs. Although everyone who wanted to know that already did.
They should get rid of them but retain the name. Those who care don't know the difference anyway.

That's impossible. You can't change car specifications mid-rally. Scrutineering ain't gonna allow it. Plus, I would think Sesks' Puma runs different engine maps to cover up the hybrid boost difference in a way. They aren't gonna re program the ECU or change it. It's a pure fantasy.
