Crystal Ball Predictions 2020

[Sulland]

1. Toyota will win the manu gold.
2. Toyota will win the drivers title
3. Ogier will not win the drivers title, and will retire
4. Solberg will win rallies in 2020, and do so well that he will drive R1 in 2021.
5. Rovanpera will make the other drivers wonder how he can be so quick on Loose surface. Still need more practice on asphalt.

1. Wrong
2. Right
3. Wrong. But had retired if not for Corona.
4. Won rallies, but probably not Rally1 next year.
5. I would say this is not far off.

[EstWRC]

1. For the first time in seven years, Monte Carlo is not won by Ogier.
2. Andrea Kaiser will tweet “Shityota” after the Yaris of Ogier breaks down 3 rallies in a row (Mexico, Argentina, Portugal)
3. At some point during the season, there will be a deep discussion again how the best solution in the world is to dump current gen. cars and make R5 category the main one.
4. Neuville will say at every rally that Ogier has the best car. Finishes the season second again.
5. Everyone will use rally2 at Rally Safari.

only 1. and 3. right but im always writing these as half jokes.

1 - Evans will shine at Toyota with only 1 or 2 poor events, will win at least 1 event.

2 - Rovanpera will crash more than Meeke, and won't be as fast

3 - Breen will be in a WRC car for at least 3 events (I predicted the same for 2019 )

4 - A round will be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances (possibly nature again)

5 - Paddon will enter and finish on the podium in Rally NZ

1 - Quite right I think, nearly won the Championship which I didnt expect!

2 - Hard to verify over such a short season but I'd say Im being proved wrong so far

3 - Breen did 2 events and would have done at least Ypres even in a short season so Im giving myself a win here

4 - Unfortunately I was right about no4 in a big way and wish I hadn't been.

5 - Again I'm going to give myself a (half) win here as it was confirmed Paddon had NZ planned in a Hyundai

[meh]

1. Loeb is not fastest (end result) Hyundai in any rally
2. Safari will be cancelled
3. Tänak champion again - because of strong second half of the season. (Neuville is asking to be number 1 on-mid season, because he has more points, Adamo refuses).
4. Hyundai champion again - but Toyota is not too far away
5. Lappi is doing at least 2 crashes (from top3 position) when fighting for the win

1. correct. Only 2 starts: Monte-Carlo 6. (Neuville 1.), Turkey 3. (Neuville 2.)
2. correct
3. wrong
4. very correct
5. wrong

[Teme]

1. Both championships still open when Rally Japan starts
2. We get a new driver to WDC top-3
3. 1-2 finish for Finns in Rally Finland
4. A C3 WRC will finish a rally in podium
5. A new manufacturer announces plans for WRC 2022

1. No
2. Yes, Evans!
3. No
4. No
5. I guess no..
