How about VERY silly season?
Probably been discussed before and means nothing, but from Monte Carlo Rally 2019 Rally Guide 1, page 3:
"There is every possibility that a new manufacturer will also be participating in the 2019 World Rally Championship. We will know more before the end of the year."

It's probably nothing and a misprint, but hey ho, seemed the right thread for it.
On a probably unrelated note, article about the Proton Iriz R5 being in WRC2 at Monte Carlo next Jan:
