I still say Lappi won't go to M-Sport without getting rid of EVEN Management because
- Wilson won't be paying him a big salary
- EVEN won't allow him to pay for a drive (through sponsors)
- If Lappi would drive M-Sport on a small salary like Evans, it would likely include an "investment" with a future share, which EVEN wouldn't probably like or Lappi would have to give shares to two external parties of his salary.
Tidemand parted ways with EVEN and drove with M-Sport.
Mikkelsen already started by parting ways with EVEN.

Eight WRC cars would be bad now. Just because it’s been worse in the past, doesn’t mean it’s in a good place now.
Rally is definitely the best motorsport for me, I just would love to see a stacked field and I can’t see anything improving any time soon.
Why can’t I desire for there to be more entries, to make it a more exciting spectacle?
It was good (for the most part) in the 90’s / 2000’s so why not again?
To say that is a battle we will always lose probably goes against the thinking of the majority of fans and certainly the current manufacturers and promoters.
I’d be very surprised if I was the only one thinking the current status is acceptable.
Hate to say it, but look at F1... even with Mercedes potentially pulling out and a few other teams always blowing hit and cold, it looks like the majority are going to commit to the next set of regulations and with this comes sustainability and therefore commitment and interest from others joining the series.
Right now, rallying looks secure for one, maybe two seasons at the most (in terms of manufacturer commitment) and I desperately hope they find a way of changing this and getting it back to a healthy position again.

I guess as long as we have top drivers in the ‘full fat’ cars, it doesn’t bother me who runs them.
I know I’ll get shot down, but I just find the current R5 spec so underwhelming, both on TV and particularly watching a stage live. They’re so bloody quiet for a start.
As someone posted above, maybe make the current R5 the new generation and hybrid, but please make them twice as loud.

How many of 2019 WRC events had only 8 modern WRC cars if we take those 2 Citroen´s away ?
I counted only 4."quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"
