Yep, terrible debut in terms of speed (only one very good stagetime) and reliability.
Best possible points for Huttunen though, making WRC2 title a possibility.

I told you
"Jari Huttunen drove the car to an impressive debut victory in the FIA World Rally Championship 2 category on the Ypres Rally in Belgium"

Huttunen didn't sound very optimistic during the post-event press conference in Ypres:
Questions to Jari Huttunen - Hyundai Motorsport N
Q
Jari, looking back to this week, how do you feel about this rally and your WRC2 win here?
JH
Not in every stage but in most stages I had some problems. I am so lucky that I am here.
Q
Your teammate experienced similar issues yesterday, were you able to affect any fixes or was it a case of muscling your way through?
JH
It is difficult to drive but the fault is not so big. It is a small fault. When you don’t have any oil in the system, it is hard to drive.
Q
It is a brand new event in the Championship this year, what have you made of the stages and the event itself?
JH
I like this rally, this kind of rally. It is really nice. I like the Spa element too.
Questions from the floor:
Jose Luis Abreu – Autosport Portugal (POR)
Q
Jari, how do you compare the new Hyundai Rally2 to the old Hyundai R5?
JH
I think it is a big step with everything working well. Particularly with the handling side. Now we are in the window. I think the gap is big.

Compare the pic with the one on start of this page. The grey instead of red area just above the radiator makes a huge difference for the looks.
