[WRC] News & Rumours 2021

[mknight]

If you rank only WRC results it would be Ogier, Fourmaux, Katsuta 3rd or 4th. Most of the rallies he just finished as last Toyota/Hyundai driver.

If you'd count all results in the season Fourmaux should maybe drop a bit due to both Arctic and Sardinia.

Weren't they one of the 5 rallies to fight for the 4 remaining slots? That said, I really hope they'll include it in next year's Calendar.

Maybe they want to see if Finland can pull off this year's event or not? If they have to cancel twice in a row, they give the slot to someone else who can do it?

Perhaps, and maybe they want to see if they can throw Mexico in there as I'm guessing they'll probably want more than 2 continents outside of Europe if possible.

Jyväskylä still has at least 1 year left in their deal with AKK (local ASN) but as we know FIA decides which countries gets WRC events.

It would have been possible in July, but probably not so good situation anymore at the end of September.

Less likely Finland will be on the calendar when Estonia is already confirmed.


I am surprised Croatia is not confirmed, when they say it was already after the event this year.

Then again you're having both Estonia and Finland this year; if I had to guess, I think they want to see if this year's event goes ahead as planned, then they'll be able to confirm it's on next year's calendar in the next WMSC meeting in October.
