[WRC] News & Rumours 2020

Unless it's purely for pleasure, doing Wales as a privateer is a bit silly. 200k to have a horrible road position where the surface is all cut up.

I thought of the same. He should try Portugal instead.

Ciesla has said in Motorsport News that there could still be a fourteenth round on the 2020 WRC season, they haven't stopped searching for a replacement to Chile.

It’s true, but he seems to be aiming for the events he likes the most, and Wales is one of those. On a purely selfish note I hope he does Wales, as it will be another good WRC car to watch!

Rally Poland is running 26-28 june. The closest rallies on WRC are Sardegna (4-7 jun) and Kenya (16-19 jul). I mean it's the most possible by my opinion and they said that tey want to get back as soon as possible. Estonia is pretty close after Kenya so I don't think that this could be replacement. Canada have few rallies next year scheduled. Croatia could mix up but I think that there is money issue. The remaining interested countires who want to host the rally on WRC calendar could seen this opportunity to jump in. India, Russia, Korea, Ireland...

Zero chance for any of them. Too late. Only rallies that are already planned/running or possibly WRC rounds dropped last year (like Corsica) stand a chance of being ready.

Citing the famous sources, Finnish media IS reports it's the C3 WRC that Östberg will compete with in 2020. Make of that what you will.

As many events as he can afford... One event, two maybe five?? Hope it's a good amount if the rumor is true. Will be nice to see the new aero if at all possible...

Will Ostberg drive 2019 c3 or the one with all those aero upgrades?

An Irish Event would be more than capable of stepping up at Late Notice, a cross border event or indeed an entire event in the Republic of Ireland would make for an ideal replacement, International events in Ireland are known for their excellent Preparation and Organization.
