Monte Carlo is soon upon us and I can't remember a year when it was so hard to predict the end of the year as this one.

The new regs and the demise of VW sure shook things up.

I predict unpredictability in this year's rallies given that Msport aren't really known for their durability and Meeke and Neuville aren't really known for their ability to always stay on the road.

Let's hope for another golden era with a lot of manufacturers to come in 2018 and 19.
