That is IF toyota takes 1-2 on both days, which is unlikely.

Toyota drivers have equal chances to bin it than Hyundai ones. So it's down the wire. Can't wait.

Little montage from Hyundai Motorsport:

From Mikkelsen's Facebook:

"🏆You finally did it @thierryneuville 🏆✅
Words can’t describe how proud I am of you. I know how hard you have worked towards this goal and how dedicated you have been over many years.
This World Title is so deserved and I was so glad to share that moment with you after stage 17."

And nice words from Munster too...

13th & Last episode of Liason for 2024, the best thing to have come out this year, for sure!

Abiteboul hasn't ruled out seeing Mikkelsen in the Hyundai colours next season.

If they dont run a 4th Rally1 car, maybe they could put him in the Step2 newly-developed version of the i20 Rally2.

Maybe at the end Adrien is still having conversations with current employer and just maybe he didn't sign anything yet. Then Hyundai will not having other options than having Mikkelsen onboard. If they are looking at someone to tame on tarmac events, where problem really lies, they should go for Gryazin, as he was excellent this year on that surface.

Re Gryazin and even Rosell: beeing fast with R2 after many seasons in the same class do not automatically mean fast in R1. However they would build up the confidence over the time, it might take some time.
