That would be very good.
Hyundai will tackle RMC '15 with their current car. The new one is postponed by a few (?) months.
Need help.
Here said to Monte Carlo:
Sordo:
Chassis 1 -> ALZ WR 31
Neuville:
Chassis 2 -> ALZ WR 30
Here Said to Sweden:
Hänninen:
Chassis 1 (without plate, but as we can see on photos: ALZ WR 42)
Neuville:
Chassis 3 (without plate, but as we can see on photos: ALZ WR 43)

For who is interested: The cars in Monte Carlo are
Sordo = C001 / ALZ-WR 41
Neuville = C002 / ALZ-WR 42
My notes: Neuville's MC car can't be on Sweden because crash, so ALZ WR 42 can't be chassis 1.
Andre why cant be ready for Monte Neuvilles i20? Not so big damage,not roll cage damage according to hyundai
So they don't have separate asphalt and gravel chassis yet...
Ok, but have other question again. Chassis 1 can't be ALZ WR 41 and ALZ WR 42 at same time;)Quote:

I think we should be told the truth as to MN's commitment to his Hyundai role
Those of you that has seen the color on the top part of the i20, what would you call the color?
Big discussion on the radio today!!!
to me sometimes it looks more kinda gray, sometimes more kinda light cerulean, I guess depending on the light... that's why I don't like much Hyundai's livery, on cars I hate most colours that you can't really define :s (like cream colour, for example)Quote:

Second disastrous rally in a row for Hyundai :(
Speed was interesting by the way.
Sweden 2013 :
Hänninen was 1"02/km slower than Ogier at the end (0"84/km after day 1)
Neuville was 0"91/km slower than Ogier at the end (0"92/km after day)
Sweden 2014 :
Hänninen was 0"57/km slower than Latvala when he retired (0"66/km after day 1 on Ogier)
Neuville was 0"50/km after day 1 on Ogier.
Of course raod conditions are different, but it looks quite good.
I've searched around without result - Does anyone know what caused Juhos off? Was the wheel broken on impact with the snowbank or did it break before?
Heard someone talking of possible parts fatigue or something?
Seeing the VW's offs both in RMC and maybe here in Sweden - the thing looks to be a tank! I still can't understand how Ogier came through unscathed in Monte after hitting the barriers?
Juho probably hit a stone/rock inside a snowbank or close.We will never know how Ogier escaped from barriers.Maybe didn t touched the wheel from barrier,or the wheel touched at a point that could cope with these forces,at this particular angle etc.Every stone/rock is ''different''.You can t compare.Quote:

Thanks. Ofcourse you can't compare but it looked bad when he hit it in the video. Have seen DNFs for less (by the looks)Quote:

Speed looks ok, although slowest of the 4 cars I think they are not doing bad considering how rushed their preparation was.

Here in Aus we swear by Toyotas and Nissans. oh ... and old Volvos. If it can survive our conditions, it will live anywhere.
The i20 will be fine. They have to expect when you choose TN he wants to compete. I felt sorry for Dani in MC. Atkinson I think will be told to bring it home and play a role like he did for Mini, just get 'some' points.
It is a cool colour, is some light conditions it looks like white, gray, light blue and some times it has shades of lilac. Good job!
I think it has one of the best liveries this year!
One more thing about i20. They also need to change their side mirrors, these are joke, often after a stage at least one of them is broken. I know drivers/co don't use them much, but it's about safety anyway.

What happened to the good old stubby wrc side mirrors?
Guessing these carbon fiber specials are expensive vs. the catalogue off the self items on the Hyundais.
Watching the highlights from Sweden it looked like the rock Hanninen hit was sticking out from the snowbank. Unlucky if anything.
As for Neuville it didn't look as he had so much steering lock hitting the rock. You've seen much smaller rocks beeing hit and ending in a DNF for even the more experienced teams. Look at the stone that caught Petter out two years in a row in Catalunya. Will happen to even the best cars. Hopefully if it would after all be a material issue they now know it and will have fix it.
Man am I psyched for Mexico. This season will be a great one I'm sure!
According to RTBF, Hyundai can't fix material issue before Mexico because it need an homologation by FIA.
I do not know if it was mentioned somewhere else but Hyundai will have 3 cars in Portugal with Neuville,Hanninen,Sordo...I think it is great news !!!
Nice that there is an extra WRC car running, just think they should have waited until they were able to get 2 cars to the finish before expanding the size of the task.
Well, it might be easier to get two cars to the finish if you start with three.Quote:

Great news for Hayden. Seems the N team is the equivalent of Mikkelsen's VW Motorsport II.
So after Mexico there's 10 rounds to go. 7 with Paddon, 1 with Hanninen as third car.
I assume we could see 3 cars everywhere apart from maybe Argentina? Not sure if they could stretch to a fourth realistically.
I don't think Paddon will be in the 3rd official car. Looks more like a separate entry.Quote:

thats my thought too.Here we can see his sponsors too.Quote:
