good news!
„He will work alongside fellow engineering giant of the sport Christian Loriaux.
DirtFish understands Demaison will take the title of technical director, while Loriaux works as WRC technical manager„
What a joke! For what they keep Loriaux? He designed the car which is undriveable. Drivers complain about car behaviour and lack of confidence and they still what to keep him? It’s really interesting…
It is a question if he is a fixer or destroyer of initial car? This we will never know because initial car was never competing on the stages. Maybe it was better than what they have now? Who knows? He had a lot if time to improve the current car and we don‘t see any improvements. I don’t remeber if Neuville was telling officially that he had no confidence with the previous generation car. That one has been developed without Loriaux and was quite competitive wining two constructor‘s championships. Since Loriaux is there, Hyunday is nowhere…
I think this needs to be looked at in context of Hyundai going to WEC, they will need a bigger structure for that.
On the drivers side they know Suninen quite well, so if they rate him he should be am easy choice no? Last year they were ready to get Mikkelsen and jumped on Lappi when he was available. So maybe Suninen is not their first choice.
So, who is it?
