Crystal Ball Predictions 2020

[Jewy46]

1 - Evans will shine at Toyota with only 1 or 2 poor events, will win at least 1 event.

2 - Rovanpera will crash more than Meeke, and won't be as fast

3 - Breen will be in a WRC car for at least 3 events (I predicted the same for 2019 )

4 - A round will be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances (possibly nature again)

5 - Paddon will enter and finish on the podium in Rally NZ

Unfortunately I was right about no4 and looks like a few more rounds to follow! Wish I hadn't been.
My no1 and no5 may have been proven correct also without the current circumstances

1 Tanak will be champion once again
2 Loeb will leave the WRC scene for good at the end of 2020.
3 Hayden will compete at his home event
4 Evans to take second win of his career whilst starting to challenge for wins from the off in MC.
5 Lappi will be left out without a seat for 2021

Well, who would have thought this year would happen as it did, the 3rd prediction now seems pointless (although he did reveal afterwards he did plan on doing NZ). However, did get the 4th prediction right.

Yay crystal ball time!

1. Toyota relinquishes their WCC in the final round.

2. Ogier WDC, Neuville runner up as Tanak is forced to adapt his driving style to Theirry's car.

3. Evans gets close to winning a rally but only manages 2nd place out of his characteristic misfortune. He'll be the best of the rest again.

4. Rovanpera wins in Sweden or Sardegna but struggles on tarmac and bins a few Yarises, returning in rally 2 and ends up in the top 3 of most power stage points won.

5. Latvala bins it into a snowbank in Sweden on Friday but wins in Finland, crying on the podium yet remaining out of a seat for 2021

I guess I got too specific here... Even though 1 and 2 are still possible (and perhaps even 4) 3 and 5 were either way off or as things stand now totally impossible :/

Cristal ball is a little bit fogged right now after vacation.

Cause of fog has since been identified as covid

[mknight]

1. Hyundai will win manu title
2. Hyundai will use different driver(s) in an i20WRC than the 4 signed ones (Tanak, Neuville, Sordo, Loeb) on at least 3 rallies, not necessarily in the same "manufacturer" team
3. Rovanpera will have a few really weak rallies (slowest of the 8 "fulltime" factory cars)
4. MSport will not get a rally win
5. MSport driver will not finish better than 5th in 2020 season overall standings

1. Right
2. Right
3. Tecnically correct ( the best kind of correct), both in Monza and in Sardinia (crashing position)
But not correct in the way I meant it, so I'd say max half right.
4. Right
5. Right

4,5-5

1 Tanak will be champion once again
2 Loeb will leave the WRC scene for good at the end of 2020.
3 Hayden will compete at his home event
4 Evans to take second win of his career whilst starting to challenge for wins from the off in MC.
5 Lappi will be left out without a seat for 2021

1- Wrong
2- Right
3- Technically was supposed to happen, but didn't so no.
4-Right
5- Sad to say this but right...
So..3/4 out of 5 right, depends how if you count Hayden or not...

Ogier decided already before winning the title that he continues

[denkimi]

Ogier decided already before winning the title that he continues

He has won the title and he continues next year, so that counts as correct.

[Rallyper]

My Crystal ball 2020:

1 Loeb to win one event.
2 Neuville WDC
3 MSport on podium more than 50% of the season...
4 Ogier wins Rally Finland
5 JML on podium at one occasion or more.
