Silly Season 2020

[Rallyper]

In my opinion it will all boil down to which driver is the most capable of tuning and improving the Fiesta WRC the most. .

Meeke, probably a waste.

But the answer is Lappi and Latvala. Alternative Ostberg. The one bringing own money will be the driver.

Worrying hearing that there's talk of only 1 seat left at Msport. There should be two alongside Suninen.

This is there chance to get a really good lineup for dirt cheap, so I'd be a bit pissed off if they decide against it to run Greensmith in 3rd car or just run two cars.

They could act on a rally-by-rally basis with driver's coming in for their best or favourite events...

Nothing new in the Toyota announcement, so a disappointment.

As discussed multiple times I thought nl it bad both for Toyota and Rovanpera to put him in 3rd while expecting to win manu title.

In a way this lineup is a repeat of MSport 2018, just swapping Suninen with a guy that never drove a WRC car. That lineup had no chance in manu champ even against much weaker Hyundai/Toyota lineup than the one Hyundai is bringing to 2020.

Could be but I don't think so. Greensmith could be the 3rd driver as money is not the issue.
Latvala just said at Yle's Finnish interview that he is not in talks with M-Sport.

However, if or no talks, I guess he will not tell if there are talks.

So Msport possibly taking money from Suninen, Greensmith and Gryazin?

While the likes of Mikkelsen, Paddon, Meeke, Latvala, maybe Lappi, Ostberg and Breen are without full wrc drives....

I think it’s clear that Hyundai will be favourites for the manufacture title next year, and probably Toyota accept that and are looking to 2021 with Evans and Rovanpera. Big opportunity for both to lead the team after next year, particularly Evans...up to them to use it.
If they don’t there will be a prime seat up for grabs in 2021...

Giving up 2020 manu doesn't line up with Toyoda giving them a goal of winning both titles next year just 2 weeks ago.

That one's got Neuville's name on it IMO.
