Yes and that was the cause of a number of conspiracy theories - the power of the engine miraculously improving if ever Loeb was out of the running etc. Although, he was paying the bill the car was predominantly looked after by Citroen (presumably to prevent tech bleed)Quote:

If i were you i would stop having any further discussion about Loeb, the fact that he is retired and people still bother with him shows the magnitude of the psychological damage he has done to them all these years.... I know it is funny to bother with those haters because they always come with stupid excuses they make up from their heads each time but show mercy... their pain is still too big and it will remain for long long time.... maybe Loeb ridiculed their idol so bad that led them to retirement like a stray dog without an owner....Quote:

NOT, you're warming up well, but not quite there yet...
Interesting. Tomorrow Hyundai will test on the same road that Hanninen used to test his Fiesta before NORF, so they will get some kind of comparison.
A lot more photos here:
2013-08-27-28 Hyundai WRC test - SpeedPix.ch - where SPEEEEED and PASSION meet !
These caught my eye, the suspension struts are vertical, unlike the more recent WRC cars:

Hyundai need to get their driver for 2014 in the car now. One of the reasons Ogier is so quick is because the car was build around him for 12 months before the start of 2013 season, and he put it through about 20k miles of testing perfecting it. So if Hanninen s doing all the gravel tests he should be one of the drivers as he'll be familiar with it. Even if they have their no 1 driver in the car for all of 2014, testing rules will limit how much time they have.
People here seem to forget that Hyundai is in the situation where VW was in 2011... ;) Next year their "learning car", if you can call it like that...Quote:
