[WRC] News & Rumours 2020

I'd be surprised to see him in anything different than a Skoda. He's not a professional rally driver anymore, but if the conditions are difficult, I'm sure he'll do great. Depending on starting positions, only Loix, but also many other national drivers could mix up with the WRC2 battle if the conditions turn difficult. Ypres turns into a very different event with wet or mixed conditions, only few current WRC(2) drivers have experience with that.

If he enters to WRC2 he will have good starting position, all WRC2 start before WRC3.

Well, good luck them! I'm sure we'd all be glad to see it back, but the beginning of a potentially unprecedented global economic crises seems like an odd time to finally find funding for the rally! Can we thank Greece's rivalry with Turkey for this sudden state interest...?

I think it does not have to do with rivarly with Turkey.
It has to do with the new government who is trying to bring big motorsports events to the country. At least, this is what they are saying.

Umh, i remember Ogier saying in July, that it is too dangerous to think about rallying because of the pandemic...?

Any talk about when they will release a 2021 Calander? Only Monte Carlo with Confirmed dates?

If I remember correctly they said that in the next WMSC meeting in October they'll clear things up concerning the calendar.

something worth to mention?

It seems to be an old article (Dec/Jan?) and it’s more about a review of their last year and the expectations for 2020. 2 or 3 interesting notes: Guilsoul says the i20 wasn’t made around Neuville, he just was able to adapt better to it; praises Adamo communication and management skills and doubts Makinen takes drivers opinions seriously.
