From the interview with Loriaux (L) it seemed the story was like this:
1. Williams (W) starts making the new car while L is busy with the racing cars
2. (some time later)
L joins the Rally1 Group and is responsible for some parts over some 6? months, but is not the main designer (W is)
3. L leaves to Hyundai where he can design all parts of the car as he wants ( probably also with better budget)
I don't see much need for speculation. L was at MSport also when 2017 car was designed and seemed to take no part in designing it.

Ofcourse there's lots of factors.
But if Msport had more faith in CL...., why wouldn't they put him in charge of the new cars (and the 17 one)? Rallying is their main focus after all.
CL has amazing pedigree and his work is there for everyone to see. I'm just raising the question why Malcolm would think someone is better suited to lead the operation - only for Hyundai to pinch the man who was sidelined and put full faith in him with a blank cheque.Last edited by er88; 30th November 2021 at 23:15.

Hyundai has elected to curtail the first test of its all-new 2022 World Rally Championship challenger due to extreme weather conditions.

It's OK, it's a short stage! Remember the FIA and promoter reserve the right to completely fuck over everything we all know, enjoy and understand about this series and sport. Or, maybe they might...
