    Check out the test videos for Wales, the test car was already running the new rear fender and bumper.

    Nandan saying they still haven't decided ultimately who's driving a whole season and who's not. Also again rumors of Sordo going to rallycross.

    Strange to be saying that while still saying that all the drivers have contracts to do all the rallies, I wouldn't have thought the big bosses would like a manager blatantly saying that they're planning to dishonour contracts. Maybe he's hoping to pressure a driver into leaving, or knows about something else happening in the background that isn't public.

    Watch the movements of he who has blamed the car for his failure to win the WDC title this year.

    I dont know if this was discussed elsewhere, but I just heard that Neuville had a '2018-spec' i20 from Rally GB... hence his superior speed on this event and in Australia.

    Anyone else heard or know more about this ?

    I think the different rear aero was noticed on the forums

    No improvement in the steering making it stronger after the previous breakages ? He hit a bank hard early on Rally GB and got away damage-free...

    i posted this in the news thread but seems it was missed

    The Belgian has run a 2018 specification i20 for the last two rounds and Nandan is confident the team has found the durability needed to challenge next year.

    “We made the homologation of the 2018 car in October so Thierry could use this car in Wales,” Nandan explained.

    What are your sources? You also said that Mikkelsen joining Hyundai was "not true".

    I heard (not certain if it's true) that they are developing a new material to use for the suspension arms etc.
