[WRC] News & Rumours 2020

In belgium you need to quarantine yourself for 7 days if you have symptoms, and for 10 days if you dont have symptoms.

And if you think that doesn't make sense, you should try to understand all our other idiotic rules.

Dirtfish ranking Rally2 drivers:

(By Luke Barry who's writings I rank higher than Evans and much higher than Clark in terms of objectivity)

List is somewhat ok I only have a few issues:

- Breen is not there...hard to know when tires are disadvantage and advantage but he did win on Pirelli at Rally di Alba against Sordo and Huttunen

- Munster was pretty unimpressive for me
this year

- Luykanuk as 6th for using his head more and winning the title instead og pointless crashes

- Formaux 2nd for winning just one rally with real competition and listed as "winning 4 rallies"

Basically I'd drop Formaux 3 places and put Luykanuk up 2-3 places and it's somewhat ok.

(Mikkelsen clearly has to be on a list of top Rally2 drivers this year, but impossible to place him with just 3 rallies, so putting 5th is a simple compromise)

That list is a bit of a joke. Bonato was French Champion and in his four outings outside french he was on the podium three times. He is not even on the list

Dirtfish is all joke unfortunately. These irrelevant rankings are just laughable.

Are you counting Monte as outside of France when all stages are in France?

Anyway I agree he would deserve it more than Munster, even though his Hungary start was a disaster.

Yeah, it's not French Championship. Munster wasn't bad enough, but Crugnola in there is strange.

It's not so bad. Except Neuville at 6th and Clark wanting til put hun even lower.

Hard to judge Breen on two rallies, but if you take into account starts outside of WRC he should be on the list.

Maybe a bit harsh on Lappi and Suninen, with no testing and development.

Always a problem to judge WRC2 when Østberg doesn't need to beat the WRC3 guys that are faster.
Maybe a bit too much hype on Solberg, surely due to his end of the year results and Hyundais deal.

Also no Huttunen on the list, who actually won the WRC3 even with one less start than Solberg.
