2007 WRC prediction thread
Post your predicitons here.
I think Citroen will be fast out of the box like they were with the Xsara, I think Subaru will improve a bit but Petter will be so hungry for success that he'll overdrive it for a few events and I suspect that Loeb and Gronholm will be taking the lions share of wins between them if Subaru are still rubbish.
Loeb for the championship tooRule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

I too think Citroen will be fast right out, but this time is different from last one, less testing, now i belive it will have some reliability problems.
Else I belive that next season will be much like this one was, Bosse and Loeb fighting for the win but behind them, there is an impressive bunch of Ford drivers who will finish before Sordo atleast on gravel, that on other hand gives more space to Hirvonen also to attack more than this year. Other drivers I think will be in top 5 regulalarly is Stohl and Petter.
About the new Subaru it's too early to predict anything, better wait and see, but I have a feeling that they have to hire the "invisible man" and others like that to get attention like they did this year.Aja kovaa Pena.

I guess it all depends how much of the C4 is carried over from the Xsara and how much is brand new.Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

The WRC needs at least 3 or 4 good teams to get back to where it was 4 or 5 years ago.Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

No idea about Suzuki, but I hope they are serious and dont panic if they wont be competitive in a few years, good they did join anyway. Will be interesting to see who they will sign to drive and develope.
Aja kovaa Pena.

Did they announce what rallies they are planning to do next year or will we just have to wait and see?
I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not sure.
When I go to WRC event, I want to see the best drivers as always. If I want to see some national drivers, I can go to some other less popular event.. Just simple.
