    Likewise, in the DirtFish article he just said that the engine is missing something which is common knowledge, certainly with people following the sport and he said it’s frustrating that they have developments ready but have been financially unable to put them on the car. Again, for anyone following rallying, that MSport aren’t financially flush is hardly news.

    You can't homologate whenever and whatever you want. Rules are clear on the matter. Same reason Hyundai is keeping the admittedly rushed 2022 design of the i20 and slowly homologating new parts to fix the car.

    You should read between the lines.

    The whole article is written in a way that suggest that Puma upgraders/money is the (main) thing that's keeping Fourmaux down from winning.

    People see that as a bit of a stretch or over-simplification given than Fourmax has not shown he can fight with the top 5 over more than a few stages before and his record in top class vs teammates with proven skill (Loeb, Breen) is not great either. So maybe there might be some potential for improvement between the wheel and the seat too.

    But off course it is not Fourmaux that wrote the article.

    He may not be at the elite level of the top 5 drivers yet, but that doesn't mean he cant complain if the car he's using isnt as good as theirs. All drivers, even World Champions, want the best car too.

    Homologation costs indeed, and a lot, If I remember correctly, it was near 100 grand.

    any infos on which car Fourmaux is running in the rally legend? saw some people asking him. its the Puma, of course, but i doubt its the hybrid car. i doubt they are even carrying it on that car. probably no hybrids and no 100kg ballast? really curious

    By licence plate it's their test car and green hybrid lights are on.. so it should be proper rally1 (I believe they take it as a PET also).

    Without battery or ballast the car would be undriveable..
