Petter as crash test dummy?
I didn´t say that. To test doesn´t need to crash, but if necessary I think that could be arranged.
It's interesting that Per only offers swedish or norwegian drivers and it's not even funny anymore
Barreis first mentioned Solberg (I guess Petter) as testdriver. Someone here said Meeke if I don´t have it wrong. Please, tell me more fast drivers able to do good testing of the new Huyndai.Quote:

Of course I have suggestions - Markko Märtin as a test driver, Ott Tänak as number one driver and some other estonian dude as no. 2.
If I remember correctly, Hyundai has said they would like to launch another new i20 WRC for 2015 (when they update the road car). So we will only have this car for 2014. I wonder if that is still seen as feasible by HQ?
As for drivers; I do not care where they come from as long as they are fast and have enough technical savvy not to repeat the earlier Hyundai rally project.
I think they should go down the VW route of running a car in a lower class to gain experience of the sport for all team members, servicing under pressure, logistics, etc
For sure. That´s the best option. :rolleyes:Quote:

Anything is possible when you have the money, which I'm sure Hyundai have! It would be nice to see cars changing in appearance from year to year as they used to. Look at the C4, DS3, Focus etc. No real physical changes and practically same liveries for years on endQuote:
