He's not the only WRC driver that has tested R5 cars...

Of course I know that, but what does it have to do with the country (as long as it's in Europe (and this was in France))?Quote:

It depends of the driver...Camilli can test "for free" the C3 WRC, as he wasn't a factory driver for the last 2 seasons.Quote:

Anyway, would you consider possible that Pirelli would supply the tyres for Hyundai WRC team in 2020? The control tyre rule is coming in 2021, maybe they want to compete with Michelin for that role?
Or is this testing for an effort to take part in the WRC2 championship, to be maybe sponsored by Pirelli?
