Talk:2020 Monte Carlo Rally

Entries

Pinging the regulars—@Unnamelessness, Pelmeen10, ToniGlu92, and Kovpastish: apparently an entry list has been published for a week now, but I cannot seem to find it. It's certainly not on the ACM website. An IP editor offered this link in the 2020 article, but it just takes me to a blank page. Any ideas? Mclarenfan17 (talk) 07:26, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

I've seen some entries on the eWRC-link you provided earlier this year but I believe that was removed by the admin of eWRC. However, eWRC tweeted this earlier this year. It seems to be a preliminary entry list, possibly by ACM but we cannot tell that 100%. It makes me think it is preliminary because there are three Fiesta WRC's entered (we've heard nothing from M-Sport regarding drivers except that Suninen has a drive for next year). Also, Kalle Rovanperä's number might be dubious since Juho Hänninen had no.69 last year, but he could very well inherit it. Official entries should be out in mid-January anyway.

@Kovpastish: M-Sport are having their launch at Autosport International. I have heard that they're following the Hyundai model, with full-time entries for Suninen and Lappi, and the third car shared by Tidemand and Greensmith.

As for Rovanperä's number, there doesn't appear to be anything to stop a driver from using a number as soon as another driver is done with it. The other rumour is that Ogier will use #17, even though Katsuta had it in 2019 and is starting in 2020.

If the entry list is due mid-January, ACM are running much later than usual. Mclarenfan17 (talk) 22:05, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

I do believe eWRC used that entry list they posted on Twitter when they uploaded the entry list on their website. Probably since it is rather preliminary they removed the entries on the website, but it is still very likely to be true (since some of the entries on that list has posted on social media pre-event tests and confirmations they are going to the event). The FIA approved entry list should be out soon. Kovpastish (talk) 15:04, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

It has not been published yet. But I also saw the one in ewrc-results, remember it had #9 for Loeb which I mentioned in some other discussion. Pelmeen10 (talk) 18:25, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
