    1) Toyota use Meeke &/ or Latvala as a 2nd day road sweeper for Tanak at more than 1 gravel event.

    2) Calls for more 'on event' rally safety after incident (hope it does not happen)

    3) Hyundai lifts all round performance after secretly drafting in new key engineer (and Loeb car tweaking) (to join the new team principal)

    4) Both titles decided before Australia.

    5) Citroen regret at the end of the 2019 season not having three cars for the entire year.

    1. Latvala to have the strongest start to the year and lead the Championship for the first 4 rounds.
    2. Suninen to almost win a rally, but crashes out of the lead on the Sunday.
    3. Mikkelsen to regain his form this season and win 2 events.
    4. Citroen to start slowly, but by the end of the year, have a car considered to be the best overall package after winning 3 events between Germany and Australia.
    5. Tanak to win the title in Wales.

    1. Hyundai to win one of the two WC.
    2. The driver title decided at the last round once again.
    3. Much more discussions on new techincal rules that will introduce electric or hybrid in the WRC.
    4. Tanak giving EstWRC higher levels of anxiety and stress on sundays.
    5. Neuville will stop giving percentages.

    1. Both titles go to one team.
    2. FIA rethinks starting order rules and returns QS for next year.
    3. Hyundai still struggles with various issues.
    4. Loeb won't do a back-flip.
    5. Ford does better than expected and get 2 wins and few more podiums.

    1. AL14 finally back on the forum and making good jokes and my mood good again.
    2. Meeke being quite often the fastest Toyota, but due inconsistency and not understanding to back off sometimes, still finishes the season as third number.
    3. Loeb arriving at Hyundai and being immediately faster than their full time drivers, saying that nothing is wrong with that car. Therefore Adamo is being sacked and Nandan called back.
    4. Ogier and Lappi to struggle a little bit in the beginning of the season, Lappi outdriving Ogier because the car suits him better. But after the updates Ogier is unbeatable and wins all the tarmac rallies.
    5. Tänak becomes champion in Finland (because i will be there and i can celebrate)

    1. At least two new drivers other than Tidemand and Katsuta will drive in "factory" (MSport included) car. This does not include "gentleman" drivers. At least one will be from Finland.
    2. Ogier will be competitive on almost every rally latest by mid-season.
    3. One of Meeeke/Latvala will have a terrible season in terms of pace or points (5+overall)
    4. Hyundai will noticeably improve on tarmac after Loeb starts driving (so not in Monte since there is no time for changes, noticeably means average stage times/position across all 3 drivers).
    5. Msport will not win any rally

    I suck at these, but these are fun to do...

    1. Ogier will be the champ - again.
    2. Hyundai will take the manu title - finally.
    3. There will be a Finnish event winner before Rally Finland.
    4. Kalle will claim his first WRC stage win this season.
    5. There will be more one-off guest drivers in WRC2017 cars than previous two seasons combined.
