I like this thread.
- Tanak to regret his move to Toyota as the car shows speed but very poor reliability in his hands, he publicly explode after Germany
- Ford to struggle first half of the season but massive areo development in the second half make them unbeatable
- Wilson to apply team orders in favor of Ogier
- Ogier takes his 6th driver champ
- Hyundai to miss out by 1 point the manu champ on the last round, Nandan still has a smile on his face and says that it is the sport (gets fired the day after and cook by the Koreans on a barbecue)
* Meeke will lose his seat at Citroën after the season
* Evans is going to win Tour de Corse but will be underwhelming in other events
* Mikkelsen is going to be the leading Hyundai driver throughout the season
* Neuville is not going to renew his Hyundai contract and move to Citroën at the end of the season (announced mid-season)
* Meeke is not going to be referred to as ”The man from Dungannon” for the first time in a WRC+ season history
Ostberg retires in Sweden, but wins Colin Crest (Fail)
Loeb will lead a rally, but won't win it (WIN)
Toyota 1-2-3 in Finland
No podium for Evans in GB
Season ends with Ogier, Neuville, Tanak, Mikkelsen, Latvala, Meeke in 1-6
- Ogier wins title
- huge intra-team battles, ego-fights at Hyundai and Toyota
- at least 5 different crews win a round
- citroen secures rally win but cant keep up with the title contenders, won't compete next year
- manu title decided at final round, will go down to the wire
- a Finnish 1-2-3 in Finland
- Meeke to lead the championship after first four rallies
- Suninen to be consistently faster than Evans (excluding his WRC2 outings ofcourse)
- me personally to be severely pissed off during most rallies about Hänninen not driving
- last, but definitely not least, Latvala to take the title
-both titles to be decided on the last round
-Loeb wins one of his events
-during the year they announce that Skoda and/or Peugeot are coming back to the WRC
-Breen to have more than one podium
-Sordo wins a rally in his last season
No crystal ball used, just a wish list:
- 2018 champ won’t be a French (first time in 14 years)
- Manu and driver titles decided on the last stage of the last rally
- More wins and a positive year for Citroen (continuing to 2019)
- Suninen gets his first overall win and Huttunen takes WRC2 title
- Skoda announces move to top WRC category
Huyndai take manus title
Ogier to win WDC
Toyota best team in Finland
Loeb comeback disappoints fans
Jan VanVurpa will visit Rally Finland in person.
(Just five wishes or guessings is too little. Would also like to read some more touch and twist from Crystal Ball)
Meeke to win 4 rallies.
Drivers and manufacturers championships to be won in spain.
Toyota last in manufacturers champipnship.
Ogier gets frustrated with an unreliable car.
Breen to win a rally.
