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

- 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

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 categoryRally addict since 1982
