    What about "It is what it is" or "tricky conditions"?

    None of my business ofcourse but the second part of your prediction might be a bit challenging to verify.

    1) Ogier powers to the title and thanks Tanak publicly, because it's all Ott's doing (moving to Hyundai and basically handing Ogier a seat in the Yaris). Estonia realises Tanak has been a mug, so half of his fans crawl into hibernation until 2021 comes around.

    2) Despite Ogier winning the title, 3 Toyota's will retire from mechanical failure on the same rally, prompting NOT to finally stop lurking and post again. His first post back doesn't really need me to introduce it - but for those on here who are either new or a bit slow - his post will contain the now renowned "Village Team" term.

    3) Suninen and Lappi become romantically involved with eachother after spending countless quiet evenings drowning their sorrows, upon realising Kalle is already on the same level/ better than the both of them.

    4) Evans wins an event (his 1st proper without a massive tyre advantage), but has an overall up and down season. However, David Evans proclaims 2021 will be Elfyn's year and he can win the championship after a solid end to the 2020 campaign.

    5) MKnight will spend the 2020 season trawling through this thread and using peoples predictions against them in any arguments/ debates/ differing of opinions that naturally pop up on this forum

    Yes, you won a point already.

    The reason is very simple. Some people make predictions here and 1 month later deny they ever said something like that. This is the easiest place to find it in a few seconds.

    You romantic prediction will be brought up every time an interesting picture comes up from that camp.

    Fair point, it will be difficult. I suppose I will have to go through the each rally from 2019 and 2020 and see who from Meeke/Kalle had rally winning/podium pace from the start, would that be fair?

    Weird to read that all of a sudden Tänak can't drive in 2020 anymore and Ogier is already WDC.. like Tänak would have to drive a R5 car this year + all the **** talk about him regretting the team change in his comments.

    Hyundai had a lot of issues with set up even this year despite pure speed is OK (great, actually). Don´t look at Neuville, look at second best Hyundai each rally and its speed. And now look at speed of second best Toyota. And now look at speed of Ogier in comparison with Lappi. And I assume Lappi is not the slowest driver there. ...All and all it is tricky decision to switch from Toyota to Hyundai. Even speed of Ford is much more predictable...Pure speed not as good as Hyundai and Toyota, but good handling which means you can drive for 4th or 5th place when it suits you.
    Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

    Most still believe we will have the same top 3 in the championship as the last few years.

    So it's not that tanak suddenly can't drive anymore, it's just that ogier suddenly seems to be in the fastest car and tanak in the most difficult one to drive with neuville as his teammate.

    I liked that part when Tänak was going to cry and beg his way back to TGR. Funny stuff here lately..
