It seems Stohl racing is involved in development in some way...

Any more news here, at this stage last year VW had a comprehensive test programme about to begin and yet we have seen very little that resembles a full blown WRC
I guess they need to build a proper car before testing. Engine surely is tested back home in SK. Drivetrain should be standard WRC stuff from Sadev/Xtrac/Tractive. So what remains is to put things together.
That may be down to the different business models. Where Volkswagen were very public about their testing and development phase, Hyundai have fairly conservative about this sort of stuff in the past. I would not go expecting constant coverage of the i20's development, and nor would I interpret a lack of coverage as a lack of progress.Quote:
