I wonder how much room does the hybrid system take away?
Will there be room for 2 spares next season?
When do we start getting worried that they're still only just running a current car with the hybrid system in it?Quote:

That's pretty clearly not a current car.Quote:

its clear that the new cars are slower, alot i can say.The youngers will adapt quiker.
"Some new headlights"? I must be missing something, but that's pretty clearly not some repurposed i20 Coupe - the bodywork is completely different, and it's wearing a registration plate never seen before in WRC for Hyundai. If registering a car in Germany is as tough as I am informed it is, that won't be some half-assed job - that will be a 2022 test car. the fact a grainy thumbnail (no disrespect) seems to show a strange roll cage isn't going to persuade me otherwise...Quote:

They don't to me. Maybe in very slow and twisty sections, it is perhaps a bit more noticeable. However in fast sections they are clearly still quick and should be just as spectacular to watch stageside, as with less aero and less advanced suspension they will be harder to drive.Quote:

The cars sound superb, aren't anywhere near R5 type slow, and still look aggressive to me despite the not as advanced aero. They will only get quicker and quicker over the next 3yrs.
Only a little note to this. I guess that Germany, like many other countries, has an exception for car manufacturers to use plates not registred to particular chassis numbers. Of course normal people can not do that but manufacturers usually have such plates registred only on a company name and used purely for testing purposes.Quote:

Surprising after being so quiet that Hyundai are now doing a 'full rally simulation' Rally1 test with Dirtfish there to report it.Quote:

Or maybe they were actually doing a lot of testing and not for the public to see.Quote:

DirtFish it's not the only media invited for the "event".
There's only so much testing you can do in a private facility. You need real roads pretty soon to find out more.Quote:

lol.. yes, it's the end of Oct and Hyundai is testing with current car :D
Maybe it is even the old Accent underneath the new body..
Without even looking at a calendar, I'm pretty confident it's late October...Quote:

Looks so tiny

Surely not.....What? You mean the team that was the first to order its hybrid parts might be further along with its development than has been suggested? Surely, surely not......Quote:

“The exhaust is just passing on the right side of our legs in all new cars, so for Toyota and Ford it’s the same, and this is causing some massive heat,” Wydaeghe said.
“Now we are almost in winter time so it’s quite cold outside, but if you go to Portugal or Sardinia or Kenya it will be a big challenge.
“But we have good engineers and I’m sure we can find some solutions for that, I hope.”
Järveoja added: “I think the heat will be quite difficult in the hot rallies.
“Today when we are testing it’s quite cold outside but in the car it’s already quite hot, so let’s see.”
So after all the hype from DF about being at the rally simulation test, and to keep glued to theiir social media & website, this is all they report after day one...

Wydaghe: It's too hot in here, the exhaust is too close to my feet
Adamo: OK.
Adamo: How are you enjoying the new car?
Neuville: Tell Yves that I want to keep driving my old car, hybrids are the wrong decision
Adamo: OK.
Adamo: How are you enjoying the new car?
Tänak: I don't give a s**t
Adamo: OK.
