Great driving!

By the way... Hankook is now testing MC type tyres. These are useful basically only for RMC and Jänner rally (sometimes) -> are they preparing to enter WRC?

Most of Hyundai stock cars is delivered on Hankook tyres. At least in our market. Obviously Hankook and Hyundai have some extraordinary relationship -> will they enter WRC with Hankook?

Only speculation but it would make sense...

will they enter WRC with Hankook?

Thats only possible if Hankook gets official WRC tire supplier

[Mirek]

Of course but as I said already Why would they test MC type tyres if they didn't intend to take part in WRC? Those tyres are useless for almost all normal events (from time to time You can use them in Jänner, Valais and few other rallies).

And PG has been pretty much the only driver rumoured to be in contact with Hyundai...

Hankook is more or less certain to be one tire supplier in the WRC for 2014. Also for 2013 Hankook is single tire for the WRC Academy, or WRC 3 or whatever its name is next year!

Is it normal for people to have such large cats in CZ? I remember seeing one from Barum photos this year too!

think must be the same person if i remember correctly.Mirek wtf with this big cat?

[Mirek]

That previous photo was not from Barum but Rallysprint Pačejov or something more to the west if I remember. I don't think it's same cat and I don't know who is the owner of this or that one. Personally I have never seen a lion or tiger or anything like that out of ZOO or circus and I happen to live here for almost 30 years now

How are hankook tires now? I drove with them in 2009 and couldn't believe the difference when we switched to Michelin. The hankook soft was like a Michelin medium and michelins were noticeably lighter if I remember correctly.
