[WRC] News & Rumours 2019

[Hartusvuori]

Am I the only one on this forum who thinks Ogier/Citroen is the force to reckon next season?

the car is awesome on tarmac (maybe even the best) and they have made big steps with it also on gravel. Of course there is still some work to do, especially when the conditions are slippery. Also, Loeb showed us on all 3 occasions that you can be fast with this car.

They may struggle a little in the beginning of the season but Ogier coming with his knowledge from VW and M-sport and Lappi with his knowledge from Toyota, i think they can sort the issues rather sooner than later.

You're not the only one.

[Toyoda]

You're not the only one.

Agreed, with Ostbergs performance, to me it proves with some tweaking it will be a weapon

[pantealex]

I believe in both combos Ogier/Citroen and Tänak/Toyota.

Neuville is not 2019 champion.

[Allez Andruet]

I would put it this way: if anyone's to beat the combination of Ogier and Citroen, it's Tänak and Toyota. Or the other way around

I agree regarding Ogier/Citroen. The questions is - will Toyota manage to keep the momentum and improve further for next season? And even bigger question is - will Hyundai manage to up their pace?

Nope. I think he will definitely be faster than this year and he still won the title this year. Scary.

So excessive amount different boards and signals is cheaper than 4 haybales in one place?

Yes, and it's a one time investment and a one man's job done in 5min

Does this mean every car attending a WRC event will have to have the device? Do they have to buy it, or will the rally organizer supply the unit for each competitor?

Definitely it will be two horses race with Ogier & Tänak. Neuville, Latvala, Meeke & Lappi will fight for the 3rd place...

There are not only 12 works WRC cars but also up to 100 other cars which are different on each event and it absolutely has to work with all of them. It's not easy even with GPS to make it working for everyone.
