There has been more than a few talking points arise this week, with RallySport Magazine finding that the tyre tender process is now open for the ARC for the years 2027-29.

Can Harry Bates recoup some of his championship deficit to Hayden Paddon, or can someone like Lewis Bates elevate his speed to properly announce himself as a title contender?
