Hyundai i20 WRC

I'm one step closer to eat my words, it'll happen when I see that thing on stages. But I have to admit it starts to look promising.

I don't see anything so significant about them. Most of current cars have similar arches. I guess most of them were tested in wind tunnel or at least simulated and that's why they look similar in result.

Here is a high resolution photo. Sorry if too big.

If they're going to run a program in 2014 and they didn't start to test already, could be a disaster year unless they hire someone like Solberg for a driver.

I guess Solberg would be a good option to begin with. Maybe one of his adepts could join as well (Flodin?)

Maybe you need to look more closely.

Don't you think that they'd want more cash than Henning has at the moment? ;)

Is there any major sponsor being linked with Hyundai at the moment?

I meant Petter to be testdriver. No money needed for sure, for that purpose. I guess the other way around if it happens. Petter will be payed a full season in 2015... :s mokin:

Hyundai has the money needed these days if they want to do this seriously. Do they really want to is the real question.

Hopefully yes, then we might have some much needed competition for VW in the coming years.
