[AnttiL]

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 !)
