Who is the main man in charge of Hyundai WRC in Germany.
Are they near the Nurburgring location for Hyundai's tech centre?
The boss is Michel Nandan. The facility is in Alzenau, it's 200 km from Nürburgring.
Thanks, looks like this is the official Facebook page for them? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hyund...35292769963746Quote:

Another one

Now, that looks and sounds like a proper WRC car! New bodywork on the back as well, seems closer to VW design!
new rear fenders now.
And from the videos looks like the front bumper it's... cleaner and the hood seems not to have the air intake no more
Suspension travel is good too.
Again? :)Quote:

^^ Good point. It can be in the air sideways. It's looks good enough so far
A competitive car needs a competitive driver or drivers.
For sure Juho will be there, and I have a thought by now that we´ll see Petter in a Huyndai next year as well. That´s my feeling right now. Maybe wishful thinking but he will be a good measure against the other top 5-6 fastest drivers.
also front wings changed to square style like polo.
waiting for a better video.
I think they already did in the prototype that they've showed in GenevaQuote:

Looks like the suspension is bouncing on landing, needs better damping?....which was what set VW apart in finland...
Also you would think the first thing they would do would be buy a WRC Fiesta off Msport and copy it/improve it, Wonder if they did...?
Edit...maybe i'm wrong on the suspension?
Sorry, i posted on my iphone and didn't see the video. The screen grab before video plays was different to the forums. SORRY!Quote:

YLE news video from Hyundai tests: Hänninen kärkkyy kisakuljettajan paikkaa - katso video | Yle Urheilu | yle.fi
Hänninen says he aims to get the drive, but refers in his dry sense of humor how the team bosses have a luxury problem as everyone who have sometimes had a rally license had call them already. He concentrates to testing now, praises the team personal, also for the fact they listen to and react to his suggestions and ideas. They develop the car to go nose first. Finnish tests continue until Friday. After that Hänninen alone have around 20 test days left. Team's annual budget is said to be 80 million euros. There's short interview with Nandan as well.
So that must be a bonus for Juho, the lot of testing. He´s a well deserved driver in the team next year.Quote:

Please build a road going street version of it like the mitsubishi evo rs types. 300hp 4wd with nice mechanical diffs and wide body. This could be a nice image builder for the brand. A fwd polo like vw is a no go that brings nothing.
they can have my deposit already.

It wont happen until the rules from the FIA require the bodywork and driven wheels on the rally car match the homologated road car. aka GpA and GpN style.Quote:
