Yes, bad choice of word there. Sorry guys

Most interesting imo is that they don't fear Tanak because he will have difficulties to adapt to the car. It's not an easy car apparentely.
They fear Ogier more than Tanak.

Due to circumstances out of our control, regrettably there will no longer be an official WRC presence at ASI. There will, however, be a display of historic rally cars and M-Sport Ford WRT will unveil its 2020 WRC campaign. We also promise plenty of iconic rally drivers on stage.

They were way too slow to announce that...

I get the feeling that advance ticket sales haven't been that good.

An updated Codasur calendar has been released yesterday, and it says that Rally Argentina (will also count for Codasur) has moved one week from original WRC calendar published.

This Codasur calendar should be an "official" document, but as there was no updates from WRC calendar, I don't know which date should be considered right now.

I'd be rather disappointed; the original 30 April - 3 May date meant Friday was May Day and a national holiday, perfect for bringing in more spectators.

Not ideal, a bit slow to announce too, but unfortunate.

The GR Yaris launch was supposed to be at Rally Australia. The cars were there.

When that event got canned, the launch was then switched to the Tokyo show which happened to be around the same time as ASI. WRC being integral to the promotion of that car, meant the rally drivers needed to be at the road car launch instead.
