    True. And when Ogier finally is retiring, Tänak comes to take his spot
    The question is whether Tänak or Neuville will retire first. I have a feeling Neuville will stay for quite a while longer.

    I don't have this kind of cristal-balls for predictions. You never know, who is going to rise, shine and fighting for WDC. Did you see Tänak 3-5 years ago to be where he is at the moment?

    Current combination is strong - Tänak-Järveoja-Toyota. There is no guarantee, that this combination will continue for years and years.

    Also, take in account, that soon comes new regulations - which means a bit of "restart" for manufacturers to start again inventing features based on new rules.

    Indeed. I don't have any clear favorites, just loving how close the fights have gotten.
    And you're right, everything can change in a short amount of time. It will be interesting to see what the next years will bring.

    In any case it would be more than good if Tänak takes the crown while Ogier is still active. It never makes good impression when the old champion has to retire to allow others to win.

    This. Makes a huge a difference. It's always best when the man is the man who beat the man.

    Ott can get up to 8 wins this season which happened last time in 2015 of course with Ogier.
    and to add to that, i just found this on twitter https://twitter.com/RallyeSport/stat...65552196677633

    Since 1973 and the creation of #WRC only 3 drivers have managed to win 6 times or more over a season!

    @SebOgier (2013, 14, 15, 16)
    2019 is therefore already historic for @OttTanak whatever its outcome

    i actually didnt know its so rare, i thought this had happened many times. damn my knowledge is bad about WRC statistics.

    I guess we are so used with the Sebs doing it for many years.

    Grönholm won 7 events in 2006, but 3 of them was when Loeb was injured though.
