Yay crystal ball time!
1. Toyota relinquishes their WCC in the final round.
2. Ogier WDC, Neuville runner up as Tanak is forced to adapt his driving style to Theirry's car.
3. Evans gets close to winning a rally but only manages 2nd place out of his characteristic misfortune. He'll be the best of the rest again.
4. Rovanpera wins in Sweden or Sardegna but struggles on tarmac and bins a few Yarises, returning in rally 2 and ends up in the top 3 of most power stage points won.
5. Latvala bins it into a snowbank in Sweden on Friday but wins in Finland, crying on the podium yet remaining out of a seat for 2021

He wasn't "best of the rest" this year, so this is impossible. He was 5th as per article 10.1.1 of the sporting regulations:
10.1.1 According to the greater number of first places, then second places, then third places, etc.,
achieved in the final classifications on their respective Championship, counting only those rallies which have
served to make up their points total.

1. Five drivers to win a rally in 2020.
2. Neuville will have more retirements due to the crashes than rally wins (including Rally2/Superally or how it is called nowadays).
3. Rovanperä will finish at least three times in Top3 but no win.
4. At least five different drivers to score a point in Toyota WRC car - and the same for Hyundai.
5. At least three stages cancelled due to the weather conditions (in one event or in total for more events).

1. Neuville will have more crashes / driving mistakes (with car damage) than rally wins.
2. Loeb will not challenge for win in any rally and will not continue in 2021.
3. Only "Big 3" will win rallies.
4. Ogier will complain about team management after Toyota repeatedly breaks down.
5. Top 5 at the end of year will be Tänak, Ogier, Evans, Neuvillle and Lappi.
