    Hi Rally Power, unfortunately I haven't been around this forum this year, life caught up with me and I have some health issues and other stuff, I could barely follow WRC properly. But today I open the forum and I see this thread so I'll post what I was able to collect
    As usual, any correction and addition is welcome. I collect only the driver champions for semplicity, you can check on ewrc-results who their codrivers were. I see that Ivan Ballinari became champion of Switzerland with 3 different codrivers!

    Denmark: Ib Kragh - Skoda Fabia R5 [Need confirmation for this: Kristian Poulsen won 5 events out of 6 but still lost the championship to Ib Kragh who didn't even win one? If so, a weird point scoring system...]

    Greece: Giorgos Kehagias - Ford Fiesta R5

    Denmark - Ib Kragh is correct. Kristian Poulsen missed the final round because he was participating in the Rally Legends in San Marino and 5 victories and a non score was not enough to beat 6 second places.

    It’s great to have you back mate! It felt strange not seeing your posts, especially on national news; we’re not so many here and you’re the expert on Champs list . Sorry to hear about your health issues; I hope you’ll get well soon to see more ‘focus206’ posts! All the best!

    Btw, as usual , there’s little to add after your list and alongside the other fellows contributions it cames clear that Skoda had another fantastic national rallying year. Anyway, hats off for all the champs, their codrivers and teams!

    Thank you Rally Power and dimviii for the wishes I hope for a good 2020, meanwhile I'll post the final champions I was able to collect. It was hard as my time got really limited, but the list is complete (or almost) for this year:

    Argentina: Miguel Angel Baldoni - Chevrolet Agile MRT
    Bolivia: Cristian Soliz - Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X [different champion for each group]
    Canada: Karel Carré - Subaru Impreza WRX STi
    Chile: Jorge Martinez Fontena - Skoda Fabia R5
    China: Gaoxiang Fan - Subaru XV (S6)
    Cyprus: Petros Panteli - Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X
    Kenya: Baldev Chager - Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X R4
    India: Chetan Shivram - Volkswagen Polo Mk5
    Indonesia: Subhan Aksa - Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X [needs confirmation]
    Ivory Coast: Maxime Abondio - Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX
    Mauritius: Rajesh Ramdenee - Skoda Fabia R5
    Namibia: Jaco Redelinghuys - Toyota Yaris S2000
    Peru (ACP): Luis Alayza-Freundt - Toyota GT86 [different champion for each group]
    Tanzania: Tufail Tufail - Subaru Impreza WRX GC8
    UAE: Abdullah Al Qassimi - Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX
    Uganda: Yasin Nasser - Subaru Impreza WRX STi 4D
    Zambia: Leroy Gomes - Ford Fiesta R5

    Mitropa Cup: Hermann Jr Gassner (Germany) - Toyota GT86 CS-R3
    Euro Rally Trophee: Sebastien Luis (Belgium) - Citroen C2 R2 Max
    Alpe Adria Trophy: Gerald Rigler (Austria) - Ford Fiesta R5
    CEZ: Rok Turk (Slovenia) - Hyundai i20 R5

    No championship in Belarus (only rallysprint one, don't know who won it) and Malaysia. Couldn't find the champion of Thailand, I just know that Atichard Jornjong (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo II) won the first 2 events out of 4.
    And with this, I wish every member of the forum a happy new year (and decade)!
