btw: idon't buy neuville complaining on oliver just on his meanness. something up inside there with management of him ( and i believe oliver totally unaware/not guildy for it)
yeah, with a cause dated a season back or more maybe...Quote:

Back online after MONTHS of being down…
Hyundai moved its test area to Central Finland - young rally star tells what the decision seeks: "Finnish roads the best in the world"
https://yle.fi/urheilu/3-12299611
Apart from being a good testing ground for Sweden, does that translate into more testing days throughout the year for Hyundai or what?
Unlimited testing within the 10km radius from the main testing HQ.
Not anymore.Quote:

It was a "Lex Toyota", which was changed after Toyota was able to test anywhere in Jyväskylä in 2017.
Still better than nothing.
Good move from Hyundai!
After Sweden Neuville, Solberg and Tänak should move to Finland and testdrive the hell out of the new car :D
Thanks, didn't know that! Do you know if these 12 km of roads in 10 km radius have to stay the same for the whole time or you can change parts as far as you keep it under 12 km for the test.Quote:

Also it allowed for more fine tuning as they were able to reserve many different kinds of roads or driver favourites etc.
Greystoke is probably just a private forest that doesn't have much other use than rallying?
IMO a very clever move
as far as i know they only had some kind of circuit near the base and like said here, they can now test as much as they want
They can test on this area as much as they want. In addition they are allowed one day per driver per rally, so for example they can still reserve some other roads for their Rally Sweden PET. I would recommend going to Rovaniemi, as the roads there are more similar to Umeå than central finland (long straights, no jumps). I think what Toyota did last week was also in their permanent testing area so their Sweden test days are still unused.Quote:

And they will test on tarmac where?
Definitely expensive to carry everything always over from Germany. I wonder if they will also hire a garage from Finland or Estonia...
Testing areas are yearly based so they could only decide it by the beginning of this year.
Each rally gives 1 day per driver per rally outside the permanent testing area. But clearly they have followed Toyota's footsteps here, if the car works on Finnish roads it works everywhere.Quote:

And now we sit and wait for the Dirtfish article on this... anyone want to play 'Guess the Headline'?
My bet is something like "Hyundai's bold testing plan to save their 2022 season"
I'll go with:Quote:

As they had to notify FIA before 1st of Jan.

Hyundai’s WRC2 boss to leave role in March
Andrew Johns, who headed up Hyundai's customer racing division, will depart next month
https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/hyund...role-in-march/
He was the one rumored to overtake for Adamo last summer.
But then the new Rally2 has been pretty much a disaster so far.
Do I remember correctly that Johns took Adamo's old job in 2019 when Adamo became the WRC team boss?
They should give the customer rally part to Petter/Pernilla Solberg. Split it out from racing.
Pernilla as team boss
Petter as tech boss
Will give them something to focus on, and not only Oliver.
What qualification does P. Solberg have as avtechnical director?Quote:

And he hasn't gone straight into another job shows his 'personal reasons' were probably true.Quote:
