Crystall ball predictions 2023
It's time again. Copypasted from last year:
5 predictions per person (please exercise some self-discipline in sticking to just 5)
Predictions need to be specific/measurable
Award for most of 5 predictions correct
Honour for the most extreme prediction that turns out to be correct
Deadline is 18th January, the last day to put predictions is the day before Monte starts.

1.Evans will be WDC (I know it's a bold one but i am voting for consistency when the top 3 will fight tooth and nail and crash here and there (Neuville) + mechanical gremlins (Tanak))
2-Hyundai will announce it is pulling out in 2025 to go LeMans
3- Rossel wins WRC2 (wishful thinking !)
4- Breen rediscovers his mojo and scores a couple podiums (this is my bold prediction !)
5- The new Clio Rally 3 is miles ahead of the Ford

1. At least 3 wins for each manufacturer
2. Loubet’s first podium
3. Breen, only one podium in his stints and out of manufacturer seat at the end of the season
4. NOT a former manufacturer driver (Solberg, Fourmaux, Mikkelsen, Greensmith, ...) to win WRC-2
5. Because of the lack of Rally1 cars running, at least two rallies with a RC2 car in top 5.

Thank you for reasonable argument. Calling people names is really unnecessary though. Now you speak about 2027 rules but we know little about what they are working on for 2027. What if they come...
