havent see the car ,or a photo,but i heard that engine was out of car.

Today i was at Neuvilles pet,left at 13.00 ,till this time from 9 in morning just 3 runs.Again the car was staying a lot at service tent,in one run we saw a lot of smoke.When i returned to service i saw they changed turbo.
Route was the half the same from Tanaks.
Tanak and Neuville were not in good mood.No happy faces.
Didnt saw Katsuta at enough runs,but at Tanaks and Neuvilles pet,didnt like the rear of the car.
Nothing new of course as we have read drivers comments from plenty rallies about it.

Apparently Lappi had a big off in his test as well.....

Well, question will be who didn’t make an OFF (or had an issue) during this PET :)

Some drivers have different testing rhythms.
For Neuville one pass is enough before changing settings. It was the same when I was at his test in 2020. If they change things like diffs or dampers, it takes time. And lunch could be in your time window.

But then again, this year, Hyundai’s Finland tests with Neuville and especially Tänak were slowed down by technical problems…

Test day ✅

Small problems that caused us some (big ��) heat with Isa but I'm sure the @MSportLtd team
will work hard to be efficient and reliable in Greece ����

Rally Greece will be hardest test this year. If Hyundai rear will be good or not probably means nothing. The driver who wins is the one with least problems...
