- Expected Ogier to do more rallies now that his circuit program seems to be reduced.

- no Solberg in Rally2

- no Kajetanowicz which is kinda weird. He did it last year and imo had better chances for good results here than in Spain. Does he plan to do both NZ and Japan then? (He can wait to see Mikkelsen and Rossels results in Ypres and Greece and then see if it's worth going to Japan).
