Last time Loeb was about to leave, he signed a 2 year contract. I`m pretty sure we will see him in a i20 sometimes soon, maybe even this year, if the season is extended and championship open.

Sadly Loeb's run at Hyundai has been quite a big disappointment. Especially after the rallies in C3 where he had top 3 speed in all 3 rallies, led 2 and won 1.
As was recorded here, quite many people thought he would decimate Neuville and win rallies.
2x 3rd place out of 8 starts is certainly not what he and others were hoping for. The lack of speed on tarmac even after multiple test rallies is what stands out the most. I was hoping he would get a last shot at Ypres since Hyundai seems to be inproving lately but the bad performance at Monte and Hyundai desire to try Breen on tarmac before next year probably played a role.
Since two other drivers as well as Loeb, all with recent great tarmac performances had big issues with this i20 on tarmac I'd say it was car-related issues and not Loeb suddenly forgetting to drive on tarmac.
Future of Rally GB is looking very shaky with N.Ireland its best chance...

Monza joins the WRC calendar. http://www.speed-magazine.be/le-rall...ndrier-du-wrc/
well that is huge news for Tänak and Neuville for example. Well for everybody basically except Evans maybe.
