Looks like a beast!
Apparently it's not Fourmaux behind wheel of Puma. https://twitter.com/AdrienFourmaux/s...44840772341786
A secret driver? Breen?Quote:

When did the last i20 hybrid WRC tests surface? I'm getting a little concerned.

Yeah it looks pretty good, you can see a few traits that they have tried to improve over the old (current) car, but some of it might be to do with the new regs.Quote:

Ofcourse the first few tests are more just shakedowns and spotting faults etc, and testing reliability and durability.
However Hyundai have had their two lead drivers properly test the car, Toyota haven't had that as of yet. Expect Hyundai to be doing some runs away from prying eyes, but when they next test properly, that car will be a lot different from when they last tested. Loriaux on board, a full test with Tanak and Neuville behind them, with their input/ feedback and criticism....
Things must ramp up soon enough.

Ouch, if that is true
Another one of puma https://youtu.be/I1uDD89AQik
Hyundai's possible problems.. that's why Wilson is not rushing with driver line-up.. :D
But hopefully they get it sorted out and testing sooner than later.. time is ticking
Wuorela wrote that "any R5 car" is faster than the new Rally1 car in corners. Hard to take him seriously after that.Quote:

(the post implies this).
All 3 VW drivers (who drove multiple other 2017 cars later) said that VW would likely have been either best or one of the best cars.

You can sort of pick the bones out of what he writes, but I agree some of it seems odd.Quote:

It does seem odd we haven’t seen anything of the new Hyundai since those original tests, maybe there is something wrong, or being redesigned.
As for the VW, it looked ok in the tests we saw, the thing I have taken subsequently in that FX interview is that maybe they didn’t focus on the aero as much as others, which they may have had to revise later.
Again, don't try to judge speed from what you see on test videos. Anyway if Hyundai is redesigning their suspension, at least they won't be making the same mistake as Citroen.
He commented on that based on tests in Finland, more specifically based on 140 kph-ish corner ( https://twitter.com/MiikaWuorela/sta...88151620206600 )Quote:

Yes VW had lot less aero than Toyota and a bit less than Hyundai, but similar to Citroen for example, and aero is the easiest thing to "glue" on afterwards.
Basically this. It's still a bit more than 4 months to go. Remember where Toyota was in November 2016 when Ogier tested it.Quote:

Those Hyundai tests that Wuorela attended were likely very preliminary, could be just tests to see what happens to the car when they run jumps, and they were absolutely not allowed to crash the car.
At the same time, it's completely expected that Rally1 cars will have slower corner speed than current WRC because of less aero and simpler transmission. As for comparing to R5, that type of cars weren't present in the test that day, and even if they were, it would be questionable if anyone can judge cornering speed just by watching.
Some things re the Hyundai and their hybrid :
1. They were last to get the go-ahead from the management so maybe the plans were delayed
2. They have a fully-private test area that no-one can see them at
3. Their two top drivers are already signed up for 2022 so there's no rush to have a car ready for a new driver to test
Like all rally cars the Puma loiks better in tarmac-spec but it doesnt look very balanced, or very nimble for the slower corners.Quote:
