Will we see any of the manufactureres with 2 car teams next year?
I'm guessing Breen with Hyundai.
Solberg O. and Loubet in Skoda ;)
I hope it's Chris Ingram rather than Loubet. Loubet doesn't need a manufacturer funded drive, he'll be there anyway. Plus, if Loubet is going to be in a WRCar for some rounds, I don't know that it'd be considered compatible with a Skoda works drive. Seemingly wasn't an option for Pontus Tidemand anyway.
Emil? ... ;)
Chris Ingram should be there, either a few rounds privately funded with Toksport, or maybe even in a works team.

Gryazin with the revised Hyundai R5.
Partner to Breen in 2020?
With World Rally Car entries likely to be more sparse next year and some excellent drivers on the market, 2020 would be a perfect time for the manufacturers to step up their WRC2 programmes.
Confirmed:
"Pedro" with Fiesta R5 Mk2 to WRC3, with MSport service so not private.
Oliver Solberg has confirmed Monte with Polo R5 and Sweden not mentioning car. He is planning to do 12 WRC rallies 2020, December 20th will be publishing day.
It will be interesting to see who is allowed to drive in WRC3 ???
I'm guessing SKODA Motorsport will announce their 2020 line up tomorrow at their Press Conference.
Regarding Solberg

The original source is Värmlands Folkblad
Solberg is only skipping NZ, 6 events in factory and 6 in private car is probably the plan.
He will talk at a TOOLS dealer close to where i work tomorrow afternoon about his 2020 plans
Basically it's VAG - Volkswagen, actually under the same roof. And currently there is two models from ''that brand'' (if we say that it counts as one big family) Polo and Fabia with R5 badge on it.
Should we start a new thread as WRC2 is now WRC3 for 2020?
This article says the FIA will mandate which events form the WRC2 calendar.. is that correct and if so which events are they?

Not sure if I can change this in the thread, in the WRC board, maybe an Admin has to magic it?
Oliver Solberg on FB
,,Today we will be at TOOLS Gjøvik signing some autographs and some giveaways between 12:00 and 17:00, hope to see you guys there����''
+ selling his RX and Rally truck also.
I understand there may be a two car WRC2 team being established with full backing from a certain tyre manufacturer for 2020.
I wonder if OS is going that route rather than SKODA.
Personally, I think he'd benefit more from working within the discipline of a proper works team.
Kalle and Jan are doing the driving today at Skoda so wondering what, if anything, they are going to announce for next year..
+ now selling also the PSRX VW team race trailer.. so seems like they don't need these anymore and will get to use the white-green coloured trucks.. :D
Johan Kristoffersson leaves circuit-racing with the goal of participating in WRC2 (it says in the article, but i would guess they really mean WRC3?)

I have renamed this thread to Wrc2 / Wrc3 - 2020 as this situation with WRC2 and WRC3 is confusing and in reality nobody knows which championship they will do in reality...
FIA puts a lot more effort in changing the class names every year, rather than keeping the focus on new car regulations etc or something that would really make difference
Afaik there is a third Polo on the way to Kristoffersson Motorsport, so they will for sure have enough cars to make it happen.
There is something with the forum, sometimes I write with capital letters, but when I post the system changes all after first letter to small letters in the thread name.
Other times it works, and It is not changed, and capital letters are kept.
strange, or have I missed some setting I have to change?
I thought Skoda announced weeks ago that they were closing their works team?
