WRC Testing

[RS]

Hmmm, front wheel. Just like in Sweden for both cars. Let's not forget this year was rushed for Hyundai, next year's car is the important one.

If Portugese rocks will do that, imagine what the Mexican ones will do!! Actually with all this durability testing I wonder if Hyundai have managed to get their engine tuning for altitude running sorted? I wouldn't be surprised if that proves to be the problem that many were predicting for VW last year

these photos though seems that the front left wheel is not at his normal position.Watch the scratch at the rim too.

at this photo is clearly visible the broken front arm

VW have probably enough equipment to develop the engine for Mexico altitude in the lab. AUDI had done such development for Pikes Peak '86/'87. I guess though Hyunday will find out the "hard way".

VW has a factory in Puebla, Mexico...

I suppose they have, "Vamos, Vocho!".

I recall it was reported last year that VW had built a test bed in an atmospheric chamber. The contrast between VW and Hyundai is already marked after 2 rallies. No pressure then on Neuville!

There was some discussion in Sweden thread about Hyunday's suspension strentgh. Such a rock can be on the driving line at ease, just like for Latvala last year in Mexico.
