Just Oz for Chris plus some testing is not too bad, doesn't dilute the lineup too much.

and why are their uniforms aren't matching the livery?
Oz and Mexico.Quote:

I think when Sordo came Bouffier had to go - otherwise they would have let Bouffier do some tarmac rallies. Sorry for him, think this was one of his last chances.
Bouffier´s co-driver Xavier Panseri seems really dissapointed on his facebook account, he said that there were also thoughts about Citroen.
I wonder why Huyndai name is not more visible in the car?
Oz and Mexico for Atkinson seem reasonable, but why would they give Sordo any gravel events? Was there any gravel this year where he was at all competitive?
Agree, sordo for any gravel events is a shocking decision :mad:Quote:

I heard the N Performance shall be a new naming for Huyndai Motorsport stock cars like the M with BMW. There can be of course a relevance to the Namyang too. Anyway I don't know if it is true.Quote:

Juho is a legend! @ 1:00
Great presentation, fantastic looking car, competent driver line up. I think many of you will be very surprised how competitive this team will be next season.
if they manage to be on par with the fords and the citroens then it will be a good start.Quote:

Sport gets a little boring with these continual understatements. I remember VW saying something similar about their expectations for 2013. Man up and say you want to win.
I agree, and I wish them all the best, but I want to see them in real action, and compare them with WV, Citroen, and Ford, before start dreaming...Quote:

Hänninen share with Atkinson the others.
My guess:
Monte Carlo: Neuville - Sordo
Sweden: Neuville - Hänninen
Mexico: Neuville - Atkinson
Portugal: Neuville - Sordo
Argentina: Neuville - Sordo
Italy: Neuville - Atkinson
Poland: Neuville - Hänninen
Finland: Neuville - Hänninen
Germny: Neuville - Sordo
Australia: Neuville - Atkinson
France: Neuville - Sordo
Spain: Neuville - Sordo
Wales: Neuville - Hänninen
Neuville: 13
Sordo: 6
Hänninen: 4
Atkinson: 3
They can write what they want because they had to write something. But it's just a guess. Fact is that Hyundai already had talked about the possibility to bring even three cars to the rally's in the second part of the season. And why not ? That will be a complete new situation. My guess ?Quote:

Maybe Magic Marcus at Finland :colour:
Abbring is a Peugeot-contracted driver for ERC in 2014. I suspect the small print in his contract will prevent him driving WRC for a different manufacturer.Quote:

VW had and understatements, I didn't believe them. But now beleive Hyundai's
Great graphic! :D

And when they stuff up, they admit it, or say they intend to try harder or be smarter next time.
Really, the news was all over the place about how good the VW was going to be. I still find it odd that Loeb retired with 9 championships and not ten.
3 GoPros destroyed:-)Quote:

At Portugal he did very well and Santander is portuguese too;) Argentina is hispanic, so, to me sounds good.
Video footage from the tests in France (Bouffier), Finland (Hanninen), Spain (Atkinson) and Lapland (Neuville).
U see some improvement of the performance + some changes like the rear spoiler.

Lapland = Vanttauskoski,Rovaniemi,Finland (snow test)
Hyundai is one of two leading car manufacturers in India.Its latest addition Grand i10 is talk of the town.Hyundai is making first competitive appearance at the 2014 Rallye Monte Carlo and we are very much sure it will be a success.
Hyundai i20 price in Delhi
The car sounds really good and performs visually the same as Fords, Citroens and VW´s. Will be very interesting 2014 no matter Nandan plays down their goals...Quote:
