I think the wild card will be Bruno Coelho, he's fast and proved it at the EOS and I would Imagine Xray want 4wd world title big time.
Think the cat is one of the best astro cars, but not got enough top drivers there.
Interested to watch TLR, they ran a prototype 22 for the astro, now most would agree when it comes to high or random grip situations the 22-4 isn't all that friendly, far worse that the kit 22
As for serpent, glad Ive not bought one if the main team drivers have that much regard for it
