I think that the possibility of him having some sort of semi-official entry into WRC2 Pro (if that nonse repeats itself) is not impossible. There is a lot of money behind Loubet and as You can see the WRC2 Pro team of M-Sport is built on the very same basis. Not saying it will happen but certainly that is not impossible.

From Autosport:
Ostberg to miss Rally Finland in favour of R5 testing
One man who won't be in Estonia or Finland is Mads Ostberg. The Norwegian - who finished second on last year's Rally Finland in the team's full WRC squad - wants Citroen to focus on the development of the C3 R5 before it returns to fast gravel.
Given the high-speed nature of the next round of the series, the concern is for front-end grip as the air gets underneath and lifts the car's nose over the jumps.
"We need a lip at the front of the car," said Ostberg, "this would help, but I have been talking about this since Sweden. I said back then that it would be difficult to do Finland if we didn't have this work and it hasn't come, so we don't go. "I was supposed to do Finland, but I'm pulling [on] the brake a little bit now. I don't want to commit to doing more unless we do more work with the car. The car is getting older and the others are coming with new cars and we need to work on this; I am trying to change the philosophy with the car to make it quicker, but now we see if they listen to me or not. Really, it hurts a lot not to do Finland. I wanted to do it, I want to do it, but we are not prepared for it - simple as that."#M-SPORTER

Well, I shouldn´t have to explain for an experienced rallyfan how much you need to practice before you get the speed. No one, I say no one have done so few rallies like Emil did, and yet belongs to the top. It´s still pity he don´t get his chances. measuring drivers like many guys on this forum does doesn´t impress me.
I don´t even remember when that was said. I have bad memory. Still think Emil should be in Finland.Last edited by Rallyper; 11th July 2019 at 18:06.

This is half-plausible. Lukyanuk didn’t go very well in Latvia which is also a high speed gravel event (although not with so many jumps). However seems a bit of a stretch to complain the car is getting old, particularly as others have said the car is now near the head of the pack and has a very strong engine.

Citroen are so fucking slow at getting round to implementing changes drivers push for. If you want Ostberg to run and develop the car then listen to the major changes he claims are vital...
Reading those comments suggest Mads is losing patience and doesn't know if he's even being listened to
