Hyundai was in R5 specification, like they plan to homologate it, nothing extra it had. In fact quite soft mapping and still no normal ALS.
Driver was also not pushing hard.
Most of the times they were fastest and with quite big margin. On one stage puncture, on few they caught zero car in front of them so they needed to slow down.
It will be really good R5 car I think. But it's hard to say what exactly made such good times - driver or car...

Just how much cleaner was the road for them being up front compared to the competitors?

Yes, Abbring was always really quick on Ypres.

Car looks good though, especially in the chassis.

Engine maybe not so much but as you point out it was running in soft mapping.

I hope Hyundai, or Hyundai importers will run some exciting programmes with some good drivers with this car and it doesn't end up neglected like the PSA cars.

Being firts on the road on such muddy conditions can give you over 1 s/km. It was clearly visible on some spots as well how much dirt he was dragging on the road.

5th winner in 5 rounds and another close fight (almost) to the end…not bad for an unexciting rally series!-)

Congrats to Loix and Griebel. Amazing second day for Lefebvre; he deserved better. Gago was also unlucky at Ypres, but he’ll probably be in Estonia. Glad to hear that the i20 looks competitive.

Only on a few special stages there where some muddy/wet places. In the most places the cuts where dry. So 1s/km will be a bit exaggerated i think.

Saw a really nice rally this year. Too bad DS is crap.
Did some fast sections, quite happy wit my choices. More to find on: https://www.facebook.com/rallyimage/...34723926539490

Yes, Stephan Hermann was 19th overall. This would have given him the 4th place in the ERC3.
