    1. Corona will play a part in the full season.
    2. Rally2 will create the best series, Rally1 will have too few cars competing, with only 2 manus fighting.
    3. Rally3 class will have 3 different cars homologated by end 2021.
    4. Rally1: Evans will win the drivers title. Rally2: Mikkelsen wins title here.
    5. Current 2022 hybrid car plans will be ditched, Rally1 in current format will be top class till 1 jan 2025.

    1 - The Champ will be only 7/8 rounds like this year.
    2 - After problems with ERC Fafe, WRC Portugal will not take place (this one I hope doesn't happen).
    3 - Ogier will be Champ again and retires at the end of the year. Hyundai will snatch the Manu's title again
    4 - Latvala will not handle the pressure and leave Toyota Gazoo Racing around summer
    5 - Oliver will drive at least one round with a Hyundai WRC car after winning the WRC2 title.

    1. Neuville to leave Hyundai by the end of 2021.
    2. Ogier will lose his title, while Toyota will reclaim theirs.
    3. Sub 300km rallies will become (unfortunately) a standard with the FIA giving it's official stamp for 2022.
    4. Mikkelsen will have a factory WRC seat back by the end of the season.
    5. COVID-19 will continue to wrack havoc among the service park (Crews, drivers, teams, and events), will effectively impact next season as well as this season.
    Only you know your true potential.
