JanvanVurpa was rather agressive on the chit-chat forum. I think he got banned for his behaviour over there, rather than for his rally-orientated posts.

More info about the project: Nandan soll Hyundai WRC bauen*:: rallye-magazin.de
- In 2014, while the team starts to compete in the WRC, will develop a second WRC based on the new i20, which will arrive on the market in 2015.
- Nandan will be announced in January.
- Hyundai Motor Sport has rented warehouses in Alzenau.
Can they just develop the car for the future like Citroen have for 2013 during 2012?
VW have in 2012 for 2013?
All they would have to do is CHANGE the SHELL/BODY of the car to a new chassis. If the body is just an update (who cares if the road model is NEW) just update the chassis and change the body panels!
Are they really not thinking?
Run a 2014 body on a 2015 chassis you mean? Not that simple i think :)Quote:

By the way I'm pretty sure Škoda will test R5 also in existing older-platform based S2000 bodyshell because new Fabia III is still highly classified.
I think I know what your getting at - design a car around the current chassis and move its geometry to the new chassis when appropriate so that when it comes time to use the new chassis there is already R+D done for that suspension geometry.Quote:
