Hyundai i20 WRC

Looking forward to getting Hyundai back into the Rally world.

How firm are the i20 plans as of today?

Colin Clark said on twitter that there are rumours about Hyundai shooting a promotional video last Wednesday at Walters Arena.

AFAIK Huyndai has been hiring new staff for some time already.

Also did opel calibra in first part of 90's. Didn't do good that job also. Last time they did corsa s2000. Another fail.

As long as it is properly financed then good news. Too many in the past have tried to enter on a shoestring budget – and promptly left. If true, I wish them well – the sport needs more good competition.

Well Barreis, you´re right about that. But since MSD did all development more or less without money from factories (I reccon), they couldn´t do anything but just fail. Same for PD and Mini as long as BMW won´t put in money...

And now it looks like Huyndai will do their own thing it might as well be more succesful as last time.

MAybe moderator can move some quotes from "news and rumours" to this topic...?

This is something for prodrive, drop Mini and continue with proper factory support.

Wonder who will prepare and build the cars this time around?
