Strategy-wise it's still possibly wide open. One driver may use all the 100kW at low revs and regret it on bambi ice, another may max at 20kW for 5 times as long, hopefully the teams haven't been talking on setting the maps and the drivers won't talk when selecting them. Give it a chance to demonstrably disappoint.Quote:

Delecour with a Porsche and then in the other end Gryazin with a Octavia. :D
Hyundai drivers thoughts from the recce https://youtu.be/6GZGbpiAH3E
Sounds like Solberg will get the first 3 rallies
I could see Solberg doing the whole season in a rally1 car. With Sordo being 3rd nominated points scorer instead on 4 rallies - at least 2 where there's amazing road position + Spain and 1 other.
Finally a side-view of the Puma sans Red Bull ! :)Quote:

Sure we were saying similar things about Rovanpera at start of 2020, but he still had tons more experience and a history of good results at that point, unlike Solberg... and still they lost manu champ.
Toyota could afford losing a manu champ to breed their new star. Can Hyundai afford it at this point?
This is what Colin Clark should be doing, he's great at it. He has good questions and good chemistry with the drivers. Stick him in the regroupings and service park and stop him doing analysis and giving ratings.Quote:

Totally agree. This is what dirt fish is missing, they need to do these videos from random points during the ralliesQuote:

They can’t. Media time is extremely limited. Works fine on recce though.Quote:

Ford has also the number like Hyundai

Greensmith or Tänak has "HY" sticker wrong way ...
(Can't remember which way is correct)
Sorry, didn't read the end of new part.
HY must be at the rear.
For Rally1 only, the numerals will be replaced
by the letters HY in white, on a red (PMS 179C) background,
14cm high with a stroke width of 2cm and the location will
be moved to be at the rear of the panel.

Finished Day 3 of Recce here in Monte Carlo. Weather cold, but dry. Stages mainly clear with a few patchy sections of ice & snow. The forecast looks dry for the weekend. Final prep this evening before shakedown in the morning!
Doesn't look good with two Compact Dynamics staff stood by Ott's car, Martin in the boot looking unhappy and a mechanic poking the underneath of the car.Quote:
