Been a hell of a season. And fantastic final rally in Japan this weekend and a hell of a loss earlier this year with the death of Craig Breen.
Massive bombshell today though. Rovanpera, who won his second title this year and is only 23 (I think) has elected to go part time next year for just one year. So the championship has been blown wide open. Could finally go to Evans or Neuville.
Neuville showing great character though by pointing out that something is wrong when world championships lose drivers even for a year and that he wanted to race against all the drivers. And Tanak echoed those comments.
Maybe the loss of Breenie had an effect but it’s also a huge time commitment. The season ended yesterday but stage one of the next season starts in 2 months. Lappi is even happy to have been moved from full time to part time.
