Wilson is always thinking about the same...

Guess Hyundai have not got the bodywork guys working on the car yet, look at the missing wheel arch section , lol

The day when rallying goes back to road car only bodywork, the better it will be for all :)

lol, are You serious? The car on the picture is Fiesta of Oliveira from Rally Spain and those "missing" wheel archs are cuts for better brake cooling (I presume) which are used on all modern rally cars starting with Focus 03...

Just a little offtopic: But still the rubber mud guard need to be in line with the arch and from top of the arc, because of regulations.
I attached some these mudguards to some of NORF run S2000 Fiestas...

So, mudguards are mandatory? So why are these cut-outs in the bodywork? Don't quite understand how this could improve brake cooling?
Interesting subject :)

think more about aerodynamics,and stones from spinning to avoid harm fenders or back bumper?Also at muddy rallies less mud at front fender-back bumper?
