I was wondering the same thing. This (and other component failures) is definitely not good PR for Hyundai!Quote:

The C3 was difficult to drive and unpredictable but nowhere near as unreliable as this i20, it was a way better car overall.Quote:

Oliver's wipers are working now - might have been a circuit breaker?

Well, I just asked myself the same...Quote:

Because we are ignoring the fact Toyota will take this championship by the time we get to Ypres.Quote:

Kaijto is 9th overall after SS18. But is gives confusing feelings if I see 3 cars with Super-Rally before him. Those are actually retired cars but still ahead of him.
Win it or bin it time for Thierry coming up in the Power Stage.
By far Hyundai’s worst rally this year, like we said in Sardegna, what a difference one rally makes.
Pity for Loeb's car issues here or he could've really challenged.
Loeb doing well on PS.
Loeb about 1sec faster per km than them in nearly equal conditions doesn't reflect well on Fourmaux and Greensmith,tbf. Let's see what Breen does.
Will lose 4sec per kmQuote:

Taka saying the team built the car stronger after Portugal and Sardinia.
Even before I heard that, I had already decided that my 'man of the match' award at Kenya goes to the Toyota designers and engineers. The results speak for themselves.Quote:

Congrats to my finnish friends for your top notch driver!
73rd win for Toyota, now equals Lancia with tied third in all time makes' wins stats.
Congrats to Kalle,this year seems unstopable.
Another great performance by Kalle, Neuville limiting the points loss by winning the PS, but his car just isn't up for his task.
What an outstanding result for Toyota. Their long-established reputation as the toughest car for Africa is cemented.
His and Tänak’s, just a question of when they (Toyota) take the title.Quote:

he's in hyundai for 9 years, how many times was his car up to the task? i would say in 2017 and perhaps 2018.Quote:

hyundai is a total failure.
You could also argue that in 2019 the car was still up for it but by then Toyota has managed to build an absolute weapon, fact is, since 2019 they took the driver’s championship each year, doesn’t seem as if it’s gonna change any time soon.Quote:

I was watching a few onboards yesterday and the general impression was that drivers like Ogier and Loeb pushed full speed in the not so rough sections but were as slow as anyone else in the rough parts.
It was the ability to immediatelly change pace that made the difference (didn't see much Rovanpera or Katsuta yet).
Breen, Solberg etc had similar speed as them on the rough parts but didn't push in the others.
Fourmaux tried pushing everywhere on Saturday morning and immediatelly broke the car.
Neuville seemed to bounce/smash notably more than Toyotas, not easy to always tell if IT was driver or car+settings bouncing much more
Rovanpera impressive again, but hardly surprising. And I'm impressed at his performance relative to his teammates - mostly Evans - since they're the only possible measurement.
As expected, Sunday cruising for Toyota 1-2-3-4 with no drama. Only drama being Hyundais falling apart, but when it's expected then it's not drama anymore.
Good job by Neuville for winning the Rally1,5 category and 5th overall. Do the people who were saying Neuville should have settled for 5th-6th in Sardegna for the championship still believe it would have mattered anything?
In my opinion, the most boring championship-wise season I can remember, maybe even more than Ogier's VW dominance. Maybe it's because I was expecting more of a fight after Ogier's retirement.
Keep doing the same thing, and expecting a different result. A few wins per season, too many low scores/ retirements don't win championships...... He really needs to go somewhere else. Where that is, I've no idea.Quote:
