But WRC have an entrylist to fill.
Well, the crisis to me is that suddenly there´s not enough seats for all the 10-15 drivers fast enough for top five places, if you understand what I mean?

Way too much redbull...
RedBull is not TGR´s biggest/main sponsor.
So, who is a safe pair of hands, who likes to throw the car at the scenery, what cars are more reliable. Here is a list of dnf's for the factory drivers this year. Does not include rally2, feel free to edit and add.
Ott Tanak, Toyota - 0 dnf's
Seb Ogier, Citroen - 0 dnf's
Dani Sordo, Hyundai - 0 dnf's
Pontus Tidemand, M-Sport - 0 dnf's
Craig Breen, Hyundai - 0 dnf's
Takamoto Katsuta - 0 dnf's
Thiery Neuville, Hyundai - 1 dnf
Jari-Matti Latvala, Toyota - 1 dnf
Seb Loeb, Hyundai - 1 dnf
Kris Meeke, Toyota - 2 dnf's
Teemu Sunninen, M-Sport - 2 dnf's
Andreas Mikkelsen, Hyundai - 2 dnf's
Elfyn Evans, M-Sport - 2 dnf's

Esapekka Lappi, Citroen - 4 dnf's

Breen has bent his fair share of metal in the past...
It's certainly not a definitive list, your right. Unfair, maybe a little as a dnf maybe car reliability related rather than driver error. Pointless, maybe that's a little too far. I think it's quite interesting to see the facts written in black and white, we sometimes see things a little unfairly against drivers we perceive to crash all the time when the reality may not be quite so bad.
Anyway, dorna have released the crash statistics in all MotoGP classes (as they do every year) so I just thought it might be a bit of fun to do the same for this seasons wrc drivers. It's there to take as you wish.

Ogier testing for Monte and car preparing. I have to say he looks pretty fast! :D

Mads Østberg shared some movie from the HQ of Citröen Norway today, maybe doesn't mean a thing.

Trying to get sponsorship from Citroen Norway to run a program... Longshot, but he's trying
If it will be one year only why not. The teams will pay attention if he will be in the mix of other drivers, with ''C3''. Those who will not drive next year will have worse position on driver market for 2021 season than him, except if he will do really bad.
This one definitely belongs under Rally discussion and bar talk"
A Spaniard and an Estonian walked into a German bar, soon they were joined by a Italian.
The role Dani Sordo played in Ott Tanak moving to Hyudai
https://www.marca.com/motor/rallies/...b2b8b45f3.html
Sordo is very close friend with Tänak and that connection wouldnt suprise me at all. Last season we all remember that comment when Tänak prefered Sordo as his teammate over Meeke.
Even for spanish speaking guys this article may be hard to understand as some parts sound a bit incredible and shouldn’t be taken literally, especially the 'Ogier throwing down the glove to Adamo' one (probably just a joke between them during Rally Germany).
Anyway, maybe Sordo influence was actually important for Tanak move but more than their casual meeting with Adamo it’s interesting to note that Martin apparently talked to Adamo during Finland and Tanak managed to test the i20 before Wales.
Lots of material to include on Tanak movie, part 2…
PSA and FCA have fully merged 50-50. There is Peugeot, Citroen, Opel, Fiat and Lancia now under the same roof gaining a lot of money and none of that rich history will be in WRC.
Guys Merry Christmas and happy the new year!!

Possibly Tanak takes No. 8 again on 1 and will have time to take it, he has plenty of time and knows that it is ..
Happy Holidays everyone!

Tänak renuncia al '1' de campeón (Renuncia ademas por respeto a su amigo Ogier),,clase especial como su pilotaje..Nº 8 = Number One...

Not sure if this is the best place to post, but this is something special:

Any place is good for the random Vatanen post :)
The video is something special, but so is the guy himself. A deeply religious man - something you don't come across that often in rallying I guess - from Tuupovaara which is not traditionally the place for future rally legends to grow (though the roads are fantastic there). Ari's against the odds story is just amazing, from a child who lost his father at an early age in a car accident to conquer the rally world and being elected to the European Parliament (in France!).
Another superb vid by the same chap who made the Vatanen one.
He's definitely good at putting them together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpzOf4-6GoE
