Autosport saying that Juho has got the gig with P-G and, surprisingly, Meeke high up in the shortlist for team mate:
Juho Hanninen linked with first Hyundai WRC seat - WRC news - AUTOSPORT.com
Edit- beaten by (almost days) by Mr Kielder in the rumour board.
Abbring, Paddon, Neuville and Atkinson also on the list. :)
Big list then....so basically anybody who is "free" or between jobs....
Sometimes is hard to find the right thread to post. Certainly it's time to revive another thread:Quote:

I'd take Hanninen and Neuville. Abbring and Paddon have not enough experience, Atkinson has been disappointing on his more recent outings.Quote:

Hyundai also needs a driver for the Asian and Australasian market just like Sordo is required for the South American market.
Atkinson has been no more disappointing than Hanninens recent appearances. Given some more car time the speed would come.
Paddon has plenty of experience at least to become part of the team as a junior driver and he has some not unimpressive engineering skills that would be useful when developing a new car.
Abbring is not fast enough , Paddon cleaned the floor with him in Rally GB.
