Is it time yet?
Rules copied from last year

Predictions need to be specific/measurable
Award for most of 5 predictions correct
Honour for the most extreme prediction that turns out to be correct
Predictions close 5PM French time on Wednesday January 22th i.e. when Monte Carlo Shakedown begins
Tip - always shine your Crystal Ball to get clearer predictionsLast edited by AnttiL; 7th January 2020 at 11:27.

1. Ogier will be more comfortable in his new car than Tänak. I predict Ogier to be more often faster than Tänak in rallies where neither has technical issues. If this proves to be difficult to measure, we’ll go down to counting better stage results...
2. Neuville and Tänak will end up in a situation where one has to help the other for personal title or stop racing each other to preserve manufacturer points. Subsequently Autosport will publish an article which talks about the tense situation in the team between these two star drivers.
3. Latvala will continue his 2018/2019 form in the rallies he starts. He will make top 3 stage times, but won’t finish on the podium.
4. Rovanperä will get his career first stage win on a super special stage in Mexico.
5. Only 4 stages (not counting repeats) will be over 35 km long and only one of them over 40 km.Last edited by AnttiL; 2nd January 2020 at 18:37.

I'm happy to get this one wrong.

1. Ogier won 25 stages and Tänak 12. Ogier won two rallies, Tänak only one. Ogier led rallies for 30 stages, Tänak only 16. I think it's quite clear.
2. I don't think we had this situation
3. Based on one stage in Sweden, he would have been as slow as Katsuta, but would he have improved?
4. This was close. He won the short super special in Mexico, but won the Sweden power stage already before
5. I think we only had Cetibeli in Turkey over 35 km. Based on itineraries of rallies which got cancelled, this would have been wrong anyway.
So 1/5

I am from Gran Canaria. I am absolutely convinced that there will be no problem with the rally.
