Crystal Ball Predictions 2020

4. Rovanperä will get his career first stage win on a super special stage in Mexico.

I'm happy to get this one wrong.

2. Neuville and Tänak will end up in a situation where one has to help the other for personal title or stop racing each other to preserve manufacturer points. Subsequently Autosport will publish an article which talks about the tense situation in the team between these two star drivers.

Oh how times have changed already...as if Autosport would write such articles anymore

Meh, I'd say it still counts as all Autosport articles were from one journalist. So you'll just use what he writes at DirtFish.

1 Evans will have more points than Ogier after the first two rallys.
2 Lappi will finish second on the Monte.
3 Evans will finish 3rd overall in WDC.
4 Latvala will finish 2nd in Sweden.
5 Breen will drive for Hyundai in Wales and finish on the podium.

1 from 5 is ok I guess.

Alex Gelsomino has a good crystal ball.
In June 2014 he predicted an Estonian would be WRC champion in the next 5 years

When I predicted that at least one event would get cancelled due to environmental/political reasons maybe I should have added virus pandemic...

Apart from stopping fan access to the service park hopefully we should be ok. You cant get more outdoor in the fresh air than at a rally !

It isn't the fact that fans won't be in confined spaces infecting everyone Eddie, it's various government restrictions on travel and quarantine that will put events at the risk of being cancelled.

For example this weekends MotoGP race in Qatar has been cancelled, following race has been postponed indefinitely.
Although this weekends support races moto2 and moto3 are going ahead because those classes have been testing there this week, but anyone travelling from Italy has to be quarantined for 14 days, many teams are based in Italy in MotoGP so it has been canned.

WRC Teams arent based in heavily infected countries so travel from them should be ok at the moment.

If it be becomes are proper worldwide pandemic then rallying will be as badly hit as everything else. But that will be the least of our concerns...

1. For the first time in seven years, Monte Carlo is not won by Ogier.
2. Andrea Kaiser will tweet “Shityota” after the Yaris of Ogier breaks down 3 rallies in a row (Mexico, Argentina, Portugal)
3. At some point during the season, there will be a deep discussion again how the best solution in the world is to dump current gen. cars and make R5 category the main one.
4. Neuville will say at every rally that Ogier has the best car. Finishes the season second again.
5. Everyone will use rally2 at Rally Safari.

Ticked!

[pantealex]

Does that number 5. mean that no one is using WRC machinery, just Rally2

I was quite close to get this right.
