Yes, though so far the info on especially the re-gen rules is quite vague so it's hard to tell how hard it will be to get a regen and how much the behavior can be adjusted. (with different driver "programs" as they called it).Quote:

That looks like a normal steel bodyshell, doesn't it?Quote:

Didn't he retire?
:D
Heavy snow falls are not that unusual in Monte. In the four editions I visited only once the rally didn't have at least one.Quote:

seems to be quite difficult conditions https://twitter.com/planetemarcus/st...196424705?s=20
It is unclear if all the new cars are with 4 doors? Reminds the looks of Citroen BX 4TC maybe ;)

They are two door. They only resemble four door stock ones.Quote:

The i20 have certain similarities with the GrB S4.
Blue camo car ALZ WR 101, white ALZ WR 901.
Weird with the (brake cooling?) duct in the middle of the rear "door".
Else the big rear wing seems to be the biggest news. Rear seems similar to the first car, but haven't seen detailed pic.
Anyway Tanak's family reasons let him test right before Monza and then right after Monza.
I thought this kind of thing was being banned?Quote:

Based on test videos so far I guess Hyundai are the only ones who plan in having all extra lights integrated, probably has a big aero influence to have them integrated (WRCwings surely can confirm), I have not seen similar from Ford/Toyota
I'm sorry but that i20 really looks like something out of an old Need for Speed game. I hope it's fast because it definitely is not pretty.
I don't mind the road car, but this looks like a pumped up Rally 1-Kit car...Quote:

Hyundai's new-look 2022 WRC car breaks cover
Hyundai Motorsport has revealed what is expected to be the final iteration of its 2022 Rally1 World Rally Championship challenger ahead of next year’s Monte Carlo season opener.
Team boss Andrea Adamo said last week that its latest version of its Rally1 hybrid i20 would look "a lot different" with only the wheels a carry over component from its prototype car that has conducted the bulk of testing thus far.
Hyundai has been busily working on the car at its Alzenau base in Germany, having elected to use a prototype mule to carry out its early test and development work of the new 100kW hybrid system.
The new i20 has now broken cover as part of a six-day test that is currently being conducted in the Alsace region in France.
Drivers Ott Tanak, Thierry Neuville and Oliver Solberg are on hand at the test, which has so far been conducted in snow and icy conditions.
The i20 is sporting significantly different bodywork compared to the prototype that recently completed a rally simulation in Northern Italy in October.
The rear wing is arguably the most noticeable change with the new version much more angular than the curved option used on the prototype. Likewise, the rear arches and bumper follow a similar angular design with the corners of the bumper no longer fitting flush and smooth beneath the rear lights.
Images released from the team also highlight a new air intake before the rear arch, while they the front end has also had an overhaul with a new front bumper and wheel arch bodywork.
Air intakes situated behind the rear window appear similar to the prototype while the wing mirrors have undergone a design overhaul.
Vision posted on social media has captured the car running off the road and into a snow bank, but this is understood to have caused only a minor stoppage.
Hyundai's outing arrives after a busy week for WRC teams as rivals Toyota and M-Sport Ford conducted tests in France with its GR Yaris and Puma respectively.
Toyota was forced to cut its test short after Elfyn Evans was involved in crash that prevented Sebastien Ogier from receiving his maiden run in a Rally1 hybrid machine.
Meanwhile, nine-time WRC champion Sebastian Loeb jumped behind the wheel of the Puma for his second test as speculation continues regarding a possible return at the Monte Carlo Rally from 20-23 January.
