Greece is probably Ford's best chance of a good result this year. They are the only team with experience from the event and it's their best rally historically. So, a 3rd Fiesta makes more sense there than in 2 events that have more chances of not happening than happening right now. Mikkelsen in a Fiesta could be a podium combination at Acropolis.

Sadly (for M-Sport) Acropolis will also feature fast stages and fast sections on almost every stage.

Curious to have David Evans write a guest column for wrc.com. Basically he already wrote the same story for Dirtfish.

- Latvala has said Ogier wants to do Monte but no Sweden. In press conf Ogier says the WEC schedule will decide his rally schedule.
- Huttunen believes his WRC2 program continues next year with no main class drives planned

- exactly as expected for Ogier
- we will see how the "rest" of the season goes this year. More like "main" season for Hyundai in WRC2 since they moved almost all starts to the last part. I believe Huttunen should keep up with Solberg or even beat him. In that case, given how Hyundai threats him, he could get full WRC2 season 1-2 WRC starts.

- interesting that Ogier do not mention Extreme E anymore. At the beginning*of 2021 there were articles that he will run own team in 2022...

aaah you know what? When you do not watch it live but watch it as "re-live" and you speed up video player to 1.25 or 1.5 it is actually not so bad

Everything we've heard recently has been about the bodywork frame and the reference volumes. That took up all the WMSC chat and required passing after several months of deliberation. Fantastic! But...
WRC mainclass from 2027
