So, what you are saying Tanak is the best driver, and now he has the best car. That's great mate. Second title will be a breeze soon.Quote:

Pointless discussion - the cars are under development and jokers being applied.
The 'fastest car' in 2020 is yet to be seen.
One has to be optimistic before the start of the season; but, with the number of talented drivers (however flawed) sitting on the sidelines, or with a small programme - it's never good.Quote:

Where did this come from? Yesterday (or a few days back), Hyundai was in talks with sponsors, to get that 4th car out there occasionally.
An occaisional 4th car isnt the same as the proposed B-team (with Mikkelsen & Breen).Quote:

Yes. The principles were:Quote:

#WRC According to @nicolasgilsoul
on Facebook that new Hyundai i20WRC 2020 will be revealed on tomorrow monday
��
Well I wouldn’t bet on it. He had “coming soon” on his story.
That could mean today or later this week.
new sponsor for Ott

and still no RedBull for Tänak.. basically the only WRC driver not linked with RB(even now being the WDC). I guess somebody doesn't like him in the RedBull hq :D
Meh. Exactly the same, on Instagram story Hyundai claims new front aero too but I guess it’s compare to January 2019
I can hardly identify any differences from last season's livery.
Very disappointing, along with Toyota they did not even try to present something fresh to all of us.
Fortunately M-Sport is still trying...
so there is hope to get a WRC round in the States in the future..?
https://www.dirtfish.com/blog/dirtfi...rces-for-2020/
any thoughts about the ,,RACE 3/20'' at the back of the helmet..
3rd helmet of 20 made for 2020 season?
All four drivers to compete in all rounds?
Very interesting indeed this cooperationQuote:

Kudos to M-Sport, the only ones who try.
With those liveries I'm glad now that Toyota & Hyundai didnt turn up for the launch at Autosport Int'l.
M-Sport deserved all the attention they got.
Toyota and Hyundai are parts of bigger brands (Toyota Gazoo Racing and Hyundai Motorsport) so it's not so easy to make them over?
Yeah, I think it’s fair enough.. nothing wrong with holding brand identity.Quote:

2019 versus 2020 comparisons http://motorboxradio.com.ar/2020/01/...FVdhchDdymDI_o
Not sure the wing is new, just looks like the 2017 wing. They are testing with the 2019 wing so the press pictures might have the wrong one, much like the headlights.
that link wont open for me, but the differences i see compared to last year (first pics are 2020 car)
- mirrors (E: actually at 2019 Monte they had different mirrors than on press picture)
- rear wing
- scoop
- diffuser
- exhaust in the middle now
- those air outlets/intakes on bonnet
- front lights
- front aero (introduced in Finland already)

Well at least they fixed the red horizontal line on the wheelarch ahead of the rear wheel. Looks better from the side now.
Thats a video with a potential of looking back in the future and say : that didnt age well... :DQuote:

The best change they made - a centre-exit exhaust:

Looks way better, and I’m sure the aero benefit must be significant as I would imagine it’s required a large amount of work underneath the car to actually implement it when the car wasn’t designed that way.Quote:

Just like last year, and the year before, and the year before... ?Quote:
