I'm feeling a bit pessimistic about the whole situation. Not even because of a possible second wave but the political decision making is not very used to having big balls.
So it might end up being the longest wait for Monte Carlo. How I wish, I'd be wrong.Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

Surely a decision has to come very shorty. Its only 10 Weeks away to Safari & 13 Weeks to finland. Organisers, teams, fans will all start losing money if they leave much longer. As much as we all want stages live again best decision right now is to void 2020 altogether and focus coming back bigger and better for 2021.

Finland is still possible. Would not count it out. Situation here is good atm. Not sure on the political side though.

No. I could also see season starts with Rally Finland and on (with those rallies not cancelled). The sport isn´t that hazardeous to Covid as football or golf. It´s much more possible to spread out spectators.
So no more waiting than 13 weeks..."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

Good luck spreading spectators on Harju or the Kakaristo junction. Also I don't think there's going to be a discussion about how much each and every event could contribute to the spread of covid or not. It will be about a ban on travel and all sport events, on national levels or on European level. For Finland a final decision should be taken fist week of June. Still a month, a lot can change (for the better or for the worse). All we can do is wait and hope things turn out well.

Spreading spectators would make it more dangerous. Its much easier to control people in designated spectator areas.

Let´s assume that 2020 is cancelled.
How do we know that January 2021 has better situation than August 2020 or October 2020 ?
There is no cure for Corona until vaccines are ready maybe 2022.
We just can´t wait for ever...
I bet no one has right answer when to start."quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"

M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
