Hyundai i20 shows WRC

The news should rather be: "Hyundai WILL show i20 WRC". They haven't shown anything yet
I wholeheartedly hope that the rumour is true, and that they'll perform better than they did with the Accent.

The Accent was developed by British company MSD not by Huyndai. Let's see what they can do themselves...

So what´s needed?

- Enough good engineers who can make engines with power.
- Chassibuilders, safetydeveloper for rollcages.
- A couple of top WR-drivers for developing upbuilt car.

I think driving-line and suspension should be like standard items already used by other teams, like Rieder, Ohlins, X-trac, Sadev ... you name it.

Well, if they are heading towards WRC Hyundai should already have thought out all this.

Add som logistics and servicepark staff - and there you are: A new WRC factory team was born.

Interesting where they are at this moment. Some of you guys out there have some more information???

[Mirek]

It's not that easy. Just the drivetrain... To have same X-Trac gearbox doesn't mean to have same gearing (that a lot depends also on engine characteristics which are changing all the time). Having same X-Trac differentials again doesn't mean to use same ramp angles etc. Different space constrains in different bodyshell means different needs for cooling. It's a lot of details which makes it more than just a lego.

Has Toyota gone cold or are they still looking at 2014? It would be great news if Hyundai enter - I'm sure they would want to be competitive given how far the company has come in the last decade.

[A FONDO]

Maybe they just want to "speak with deeds", not fake announcements like VW.

Interesting fairy tale heroes. But all with Toyota & Hyundai is fairy tale by now.
