to me sometimes it looks more kinda gray, sometimes more kinda light cerulean, I guess depending on the light... that's why I don't like much Hyundai's livery, on cars I hate most colours that you can't really define :s (like cream colour, for example)

Gulf racing blue - much more white in it than sky blue. When reflecting cloud in photographs it can appear almost white / grey but it certainly is blue when shot through a polarising filter

Second disastrous rally in a row for Hyundai :(

Speed was interesting by the way.

Sweden 2013 :
Hänninen was 1"02/km slower than Ogier at the end (0"84/km after day 1)
Neuville was 0"91/km slower than Ogier at the end (0"92/km after day)

Sweden 2014 :
Hänninen was 0"57/km slower than Latvala when he retired (0"66/km after day 1 on Ogier)
Neuville was 0"50/km after day 1 on Ogier.

Of course raod conditions are different, but it looks quite good.

I've searched around without result - Does anyone know what caused Juhos off? Was the wheel broken on impact with the snowbank or did it break before?

Heard someone talking of possible parts fatigue or something?

Seeing the VW's offs both in RMC and maybe here in Sweden - the thing looks to be a tank! I still can't understand how Ogier came through unscathed in Monte after hitting the barriers?

Juho probably hit a stone/rock inside a snowbank or close.We will never know how Ogier escaped from barriers.Maybe didn t touched the wheel from barrier,or the wheel touched at a point that could cope with these forces,at this particular angle etc.Every stone/rock is ''different''.You can t compare.

Probably the Polo is as strong as a tank. Only hinkelstein can stop it :D (Latvala in Germany 2013)

Thanks. Ofcourse you can't compare but it looked bad when he hit it in the video. Have seen DNFs for less (by the looks)
