2016 Silly Season

[Rallyper]

So time for predictions to be reread in middle of January. Anyone starts? Maybe a points-system as well?

Maybe a points-system as well?

what about it? You think 10 points max is better solution, or scoring points each day as in ERC?

With Paddon confirmed now i hope Meeke and Tänak will continue, these three put a serious challenge on VW guys this season, Meeke regularly and Paddon and Tänak in Sardinia and Poland respectively. im sure there's more to come from them.

Tänak about his season on facebook and from this it seems he will be in WRC next year:

Im on my way to the airport after a very difficult Rally GB! The rally didn't finish the way that we wanted as I broke the rear wishbone on the first stage today and we had to retire. It was a strange one, I think we clipped a rock on the outside of the line and somehow it caused the damage.
Before that, the weekend had been not bad. We were fourth and the plan was to try and keep ahead of Sordo today. It was a really difficult rally, the road conditions were very tricky, lots of standing water and the grip changing a lot. But we were making good progress.
It's not the way I wanted to end the season but thats the way it goes sometimes. Now we must focus on 2016 and moving forward.

So now is a good time to thank you all for the support during the season, all the messages really does mean a lot to me. We've had some ups like in Poland where we were on a rally leading pace, and some downs where we've retired from good positions. This year also had one of the scariest accidents of my career when we went into the lake in Mexico.

But the progress has been good. For many of the rallies I've been going there for the first time in a WRC car and it takes a little time to perfect everything and fine tune, it's not possible to just push at the start.

So thanks everyone and please continue to support Team Tanak in 2016!!

Was reading Wales post event press conference and Meeke's words about his future underlined a "bit" of haste for his current situation:

Q:
Talking to Yves Matton, you might know about the future soon?

Kris Meeke:
I'm happy he's talking to you… at least he's talking to somebody!


and also...

Q: Marco Giordo (Autosprint, Italy).
Kris, when do you know about your future?

Kris Meeke:
Honestly I have no idea. It's strange to say you haven't spoken to your team boss at this stage of the year, but that's the situation. I hope it becomes clear, but at this stage I have no idea. Maybe I'll go and ride some enduro bikes with Jost…

He has not been too much diplomatic it seems...
