From what I saw today stood next to Mintex, it just seemed to be lacking a little bit in all areas, though not by much. Of course there might be more to come yet! It looks and sounds good though!Quote:

Looks like they'll be aiming for top 5 more than podium at this stage. Still interesting to see Bouffier's true pace after the mess up today! Excited for tomorrow - seeing ES1/4 and ES3/6 - both have good spots, and potential for snow on ES3 in the morn! Will post updates tomorrow night.
Thanks Allyc85 and pettersolberg29 :). Yeah car does sound good from ive heard/seen on vids. As long as the car isn't massively off the pace like say the suzuki sx4 was il be happy. Maybe the hyundai will be around the pace the Mini was when it made its debut or just a little behind that in competitiveness?Quote:

Aren't they supposed to build a completely new car for next year based on the new I20? If so all they really have to do this year is gather data and further develop the components.
First measure comes in sweden when power really counts. RMC is not (if weather conditions will be as predicted) the best rally to make an assessment of the i20.
Good point but shakedown was a tight layout where handling and speed out of corners was at a premium. On similar tyre choices with standard conditions throughout (dry with frozen mud turning to wet mud through the last half of the session). I don't think s/d will be representative of the whole rally but it did show the VW and Citroen combos are better at this time.Quote:
