2018 Crystal Ball Thread

[rp]

- All the Manufacturer teams will win during the WRC 2018 season
- Sébastien Loeb will win at least 1 event
- Mads Østberg will drive more than 1 WRC event with the Citroën C3 WRC
- Teemu Suninen will take his 1st ever Podium place
- Juho Hänninen will drive 4th Toyota in Rally Finland

A bad mistake to predict Juho´s drive, but otherwise it went well!

[N.O.T]

1. Ogier to win the title on the last event after both neuville and Tanak crash. Neuville to blow a 20+ points lead to Ogier.

2.Toyota to win the manufacturers title after being carried by Tanak

3.Ogier to sign with citroen for 2019

4.Loeb to win in spain, will lose the lead in mexico after puncture and crash in Corsica

5. all of the above predictions will be correct

get on my level dogs !!!!!!

1) I will edit something in here after final round

2) I will edit something else in here after final round

3) Fill this is after final round

4) I am so good no one will ever outsmart me

5) Don't tell anyone but N.O.T. is an abbreviation of Naughtly Old Troll

N.O.T. your predictions are so amazingly accurate.
Hard to believe you got 5 out of 5 is amazing.
I have absolutely no idea how you do it.

1 Ogier wins WDC on 219 points
2 Loeb will win Catalunia by smaller margin than 5 secs
3 Toyota wins Manu title in an decider in last round
4 Latvala wins last round with a margin over 30 secs
5 Meeke signing for Toyota for 2019

(I´m best crystal ball predictor ever)

Told ya.

[Rally Power]

Yep, it’s quite amazing! NOT even got a 6th prediction right:

6. Sick dog Mikkelesen will crash in Australia after avoiding hitting a tractor

Good joke mate, for a change; you really could use your mind in funny ways often, instead of insulting everyone on a daily basis.

1) Ogier will win this title too
2) My 4th prediction won't be correct
3) My 5nd prediction won't be incorrect
4) My 1st prediction is correct
5) My 2nd prediction is not correct

100% success

I like this thread.
- Tanak to regret his move to Toyota as the car shows speed but very poor reliability in his hands, he publicly explode after Germany
- Ford to struggle first half of the season but massive areo development in the second half make them unbeatable
- Wilson to apply team orders in favor of Ogier
- Ogier takes his 6th driver champ
- Hyundai to miss out by 1 point the manu champ on the last round, Nandan still has a smile on his face and says that it is the sport (gets fired the day after and cook by the Koreans on a barbecue)

Well, latest development at Hyundai makes my final prediction somewhat true

I think it would be the right time for the 2019 Crystal Ball Thread!

[dnb]

Ostberg retires in Sweden, but wins Colin Crest
Loeb will lead a rally, but won't win it
Toyota 1-2-3 in Finland
No podium for Evans in GB
Season ends with Ogier, Neuville, Tanak, Mikkelsen, Latvala, Meeke in 1-6

1. second part is correct
2. correct in Mexico
3. wrong
4. correct
5. went to greedy, but correct top3 is pretty decent betting-wise

[Sulland]

Even with 8, I dont think I have one correct prediction.

​

- Hyundai will win Manu Title
- Østberg will get more rallies both in WRC and WRC2 in Citroen
- Toyota will not have a better season than in 17, but will fight for manu title in 19.
- Mikkelsen will be 3rd in driver champ.
- Ogier will loose his motivation, and 18 will be his last season.
- FIA will continue to destroy the sport, and plans for El-car and micky mouse format are developed.
- Supericence will be introduced in WRC. Numbers of drivers in rallies will drop.
- ERC will continue to grow, and get a better R5 field than WRC2.

FIVE PREDICTIONS ONLY!!! _MM
