Today (Tuesday, September 24) the first of four test days was held that Hyundai Motorsport planned to evaluate the effectiveness of the developments developed for the i20 in the R5 version. The start of this intense test program was Andrea Crugnola who traveled about 250 kilometers on the asphalt around Mazamet (south of France).
The driver from Varese worked closely with the engineers of the Korean company, focusing above all on the new suspensions that immediately appeared extremely fast and effective. What is the antechamber of an ongoing collaboration? For now, nothing is decided.
Certainly an excellent opportunity for Crugnola, which is not new to these types of activities anyway: already Citroen Racing and Renault Sport have involved it several times in the development tests of DS3 and Clio R3T in the past years. Now it's up to Craig Breen, who starting tomorrow will continue the work started by Italian.

Important wins in France and Spain for the C3 R5 during last weekend: Bonato won Rallye Couer de France on a close figth with the current series leader Rossel (also on a C3); Lopez won Rally Villa de Llanes and is, alongside Hyundai drivers Ares and Pernia, on the title bid.
So do we say the big 3 or the big 2. Is the new Fiesta fast enuff?
Not yet I think. It set some better times in Wales but I guess they did a lot of the testing on similar roads and Greensmith/Paddon should have been a strong lineup for that event.
Turkey I don’t really consider as that was a who-can-get-the-least-punctures competition.
Moffett family seems to have bought a Polo R5.
