WRC Spain Craig Breen
SS1 'Pop off valve strikes again'.
SS5 'Suspension trouble'
That 208 is a joke.

It's hard to say anything really. Popoff is something they can't solve it seems. As far as yesterday's suspension problem goes, I read it was a sealing that went dead, which is a maintenance and/or material failure. Drivetrain: the gearbox is already in its 3rd Evolution, rear diff has been updated as well. So either everybody involved in this project is useless, they have no money, or the car was not prepared well - again. I'd say it's somewhere between the three. But still surprised Famin was not fired after the sloppy product they had such high hopes for.

As Br21 stated before the pop-off valve issue is largely related to the position in the engine bay which definitely is a design flaw. Others spent hell of a time to minimize the issue before homologation. The 208 had a lot of design flaws since the beginning, maybe because the original designer of the car Bertrand Vallat went to Hyundai before the car was finished, who knows.

To me it sounds as if Hyundai has already made the decision and if next year’s cars are anything different to what we’ve had since 2022 they are out, end of story.
