Well Suninen was testing the car today.

So, who is it?

At least on testing videos it looked horrible. Also, a person like Loriaux doesn't decide alone which car they send to homologation. They could have sent the original one if it was better than the...

In 2018 Neuville went off in Monte, Finland, Wales and Australia.

"recce only" to be prepared for next year full program

Now we know why Hyundai didn't change livery...they spent all their graphics budget on photoshopping this image :D

Cyril Abiteboul as new team principal

We've had this conversation every year, even when we had four teams that could win a rally.

On the contrary, they can make even old videos and photos look relevant when the car still looks the same.

It's not the WRC team livery, it's the whole motorsport department livery, changing it would be a big operation in all disciplines, service trucks etc.

Same with TGR.

M-Sport can do what they...

And that has nothing to do with Fiesta WRC being especially bad on fast events from 2018 onwards?

For sure I would keep Sordo. Experience from the car and experience from rallies. For example Lappi hasn't been to Safari or Japan. You could put Breen and Suninen in the same car but they have the...

I think it was Marca or other Spanish magazine reporting about eight rallies. Also fits with what Mikkelsen said about being offered six rallies.

That's one car too much.

either that or then Sordo/Breen, can't really see other options.

What a plot twist that would be! :D

Last rally with the team? Or last rally as deputy team leader? He still has his main job as the drivetrain manager?

”To be honest, …”

He needs to tell everyone he's now a free agent and was almost signed by a works team

No, my guess was that they planned to have Neuville, Breen/Mikkelsen and Sordo/Suninen or something like that, but then they got Lappi for full season.

Damn, the inbox gets full so quickly and nothing really tells me, especially when using Tapatalk. But done now :)

But I don't understand, how does Lappi taking Tänak's seat affect Mikkelsen's contract to drive as Sordo's pair? Unless they were planning to share the second car seat as well?
