Norwegians buy quite a few electric cars, hyundai have the ioniq and kona evs , so the marketing department at Hyundai might hope they can leverage some brand awareness/support in Norway by employing a Norwegian wrc driver.Quote:

Paddon said the rally finland i20 wrc front diff was similar to the 2016 diff so it has taken more than a year and half to get back to a 2016 'feeling'. So by that measure it could take till the middle of 2019 for Mikkelsen to be comfortable with the i20?
Amazing rally by Tanak, great job. If his car won't betray him, he can fully get back in the title fight.
Great pace by Ogier, 4th + PS win is actually a very good result, considering his mistake could have costed him to super rally for the 3rd day.
Neuville not on pace with his rivals here, but he didn't make mistakes and got a good 2nd place as reward.
So now 23 points between him and Ogier in the classification. One DNF and Ogier might be the leader again, and people were saying the championship was over...
Also true. He needs "reset" button.Quote:

Tanak really could be a championshipcontenter,but Neuville have shown amazing mature,and he can gets good points even at rallies he is not fast.
Tanak at the moment is the best driver,fast at every surface,but too little rallies to steal the crown.
Citroen a real disaster.They still support Lefebvre to show how fast is their new r5 car.
didnt get what you want to say.Quote:
