Note that Hyundai is taking a beating in both championships even though Rovanpera is completely out of form.
In coming rounds Rovanpera likely goes back to charging for wins + Ogier with starting position advantage + Pajari with starting position advantage and taking points.
What does Hyundai have coming to counter that? New car already arrived, no big change. 4th car not coming. Fourmaux even without crashing is not scoring much more points than the 3rd drivers last year. Sure he might, but still that should be the only counter?
The only way for Hyundai to win is bring in the might of VW into the series…oh wait, never mind. On a more serious note, I hope they pick themselves up together after Kenya, as it’s still a long way to go and we still have 3 new events and we have yet to see the best of their 3 drivers.
Christ - we're 2 events in to a 14-event season and people are deciding the championship.....

Well, I think nobody really believs to Hyundai any more. Obviously, they built their operations and rally program on cracking/floating foundament. There is a reason why in 12 or so years they have managed only 2 WMC and 1 WDC. Look back - when VW came in - instant and dominant success, Toyota - same story, even M-Sport pulled of 2 WDC and 1 WMC during Ogier's stint. Might be smth with Korean Corporate Culture or smth. Therefore, possibly they will pull it still together, but only on ecpense of Toyota failure. Plus, seema that Neuville has chilled off a bit after the long fought title.
Exactly, we lost faith in them & like you said, 12 years and only 3 of those they managed to get it, and less we forget, VW haven’t been in the championship since 2017 and Citroën didn’t mount any challenge in their last 6 years.Quote:

We expect to see him in Gran Canaria. Fingers crossed.Quote:
