Van den Heuvel Motorsport have ordered a Hyundai R5, hoping to drive Rally Germany with it.
Their WRC is good and they are very rich and capable team. It's quite sane to expect a good product.
Sounded like Jasper will start driving it first. They want Jim to drive with the Mitsubishi this year and next year and than probably going to the R5, but all depends on his improvement. On some stages yesterday he drove the same times as Jasper already, so looks good.
Rumours about Hotz running one too, with Balbosca team.
They are in so early stage of development now that it's impossible to say anything about Hyundai R5, simply nobody knows...
First win for Giordano in 208 with Loeb Racing.
Not a huge competition by the looks of it, but a good test I guess.

Kevin Abbring in control, Hyundai Motorsport has this week continued the development of its new i20 R5, making four days of testing, both on the ground and two on asphalt, in the South of France.
Among the innovations tested by Hyundai on his R5, a new cooling system, a new shield, but already an evolution of the 1.6T engine.
The Customer Project department of Hyundai Motorsport has also announced the first firm order of a Hyundai i20 R5 by an Italian private team.
We are also able to reveal that the team Jasper van den Heuvel also ordered a R5 Hyundai to the power requirement dispose for Rallye Deutschland.
The ambition of the Dutch team is getting to know the R5 and put at the wheel forward Jim van den Heuvel, the younger brother of Jasper, which debuted globally in the Swedish Rally on a Lancer EvoX
