Really? 64 days before Monte Carlo we are already giving titles out?
To me, the season won't look that much different next year. The drivers title will be fought between Ogier, Tänak and Neuville, and the manufacturers title between Toyota and Hyundai. Evans will likely be the best of the rest, after that it may look a bit different...
Imagine if someone had said in Sep/Oct 2018 that the 2020 season will see Tänak and Loeb in Hyundai fighting against Ogier in Toyota... and that's just some 14 months ago.
Big shame to lose Citroen but cant blame Ogier for going to a better-funded team with the top WRC car.
It was a no-brainer once Hyundai took Tanak that Toyota had to get Ogier.
I just hope M-Sport now get a line-up to have some chance of wins against the two Asian giants.
I blame ogier last year and he couldn't give something back to the wrc he only cares about himself could have stayed or went to m sport I think he could have won with Citroen now at least 2 driver's with no where else to go money money
not defensive.
Ogier is always one of the favourites for the title no matter what the car. But im gonna wait for some rallies first.
Take this season for example, he had 2 wins out of first 3 rounds with that so called undriveable Citroen, and at that moment it also seemed to me that he is gonna take the title again.
But we all know what happened after that.
For me todays news is huge disapointment. It means that next season we have 9-11 factory cars in one rally. Maybe some just 8.
Quantity over quality or I just remembering those early years 2000 when rally finland had 30 A8 category cars in starting line.
And only three men can win title next year honesly. Getting boring again. Hope hybrid era will bring new manufactures. There is so many good drivers without seat now. Looks like gap year is coming...
