    Greek driver Lambros Athanassoulas says that he is going to be the first private driver in the world to drive Hyundai i20 N Rally2 when he competes in this car in Acropolis Rally.

    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.
