Yes, Demaison is with Hyundai currently.

I missed Lappi's off. Can anyone describe how it happened, please?

They did but FX said in an interview to dirtfish that they can’t do much cause the car is fundamentally wrong.

That’s why they also wanted to build a new one for next year but FIA screwed them with this when they announced the new rules briefly but then took them back

Heavy rutted section through trees, car was bouncing, back end hit one tree, swung the front end into the path of another tree. Wheel fell off.

You have very limited options to change things once they are homologated. Basically you can change only minor stuff but nothing fundamental.

Didn't they say that they start to working on a new car, then scrap it. And then when the regs stayed the same they didn't have any paper, documents, parts, actually car anymore? They just threw all away then? Or what. I catch that they manage to save something from that project. How could such a company just screw that in that scale? Doesn't make sense to me. Then they manage to get extra jokers by threats that they will quit. And right now they say they will quit if new manus will not join. What are they trying to achieve?
