Silly Season 2019

[er88]

Molly said on All Live about rumors of Østberg driving a third Citroen next year. It would make sense, maye Loeb would do some rallies, maybe Al-Qassimi as well?

Loeb could maybe do 4/5/6 now, would be great if Mads can do the rest.

The more WRC cars, the better it is for the spectators out there on the stages.

However I feel it'd be a year too early to put Katsuta in a Yaris. Will be interesting to see though

Seven rounds for Dani next year..

Disappointing, when they continue the same way. Especially Mikkelsen driving on every round seems like a waste of manuf. points and doesn`t help Neuville much. Could be leading-winning at the moment.

I expect he goes to Chile because he's spanish and due to the pairing with Argentina. Which round will he drop then if he stays on 7 like this year. I don't see any clear candidate.

This year there were 13 rallies so Paddon and Sordo both did Portugal to give them even numbers. Assuming next year we're having 14 rounds, they would probably just do 7+7. Sordo to Chile and only Paddon to Portugal.

I have mentioned this multiple times: all of the four Hyundai drivers are competitive on technical gravel rallies. Only Neuville and Sordo are fast on tarmac and only Paddon can be somewhat competitive in Finland. To fill those gaps, they would need new drivers or then improvements through car updates or driving style changes.

This seems to have killed the Paddon on loan to M-Sport rumour. Looks like Breen vs Evans for the seat.

Østberg to decide if they can have his money. I dont think he will want to go there as he wasnt happy with the lack of help & parts when running his own Fiesta.

AnttiL it seems odd to me that Spanish driver won’t be send to Portugal.
