You are maybe right about Breen, but Abbring is very fast and he hasn't a single crash this year I think!

Next year it will be 7 best results from all events. Season is not divided into halfs like this year.

Wasn't Malghaes a much faster driver in the past?

So Skoda could miss the first two rounds and be ok. On the other hand they may want to get some safe points in the bag with the S2000 in case their R5 has teething problems like the others.

I think they´ll start at Latvia because of the car market there. But they´ll probably skip Jänner and Cyprus - like this year.

Sarrazin will take this home if nothing extraordinary happens.

Bouffier seems to be not in excellent form like last year, as we have already seen in this years Rally Germany and Alsace, where nearly everyone would have rated him to perform a bit better.

I think he is not comfortable with 208 T16. And maybe long break before this season didnt helped also.

Question is who will drive for Skoda next year...

No restart for Breen?

And what are the possibilities? :-D Both Kopecky and Lappi are under contract. I don´t know who will drive which championship, but both are "powerful weapons" for European championship. ...and Skoda will present its R5 in ERC, there is no doubt. So do you, Pluto, know about somebody else? Third driver? Will be Wiegand replaced? Or is Wiegand also under contract?
