Hyundai WRT

Based on the current regs but they were changed now and as a regular fan you may think it isn’t a big change but it is

Imagine They had made all the calculations and etc with current regs and now suddenly it’s changed

“I’m sure, if the FIA needs a quicker decision, I’m very confident they can find ways. They must appreciate that a ratification of rules in June for a car that needs to be designed, tested and validated for January, it is not a lot of time to design, build, test and validate."
“We are talking about substantial changes to the car and the power and weight distribution and aerodynamic behaviour, and the change to the wing is not a small change. I don’t want to put a figure on it, but it is a huge change. I know we are not in Formula 1, but aero in rally still matters and we are talking about balance shifts, and we need to do a good job around it. There are guidelines but now we need rules and as quickly as possible.”

- said Abiteboul, and it totally makes sense

Why did the FIA panic?
Why aren't the other teams complaining? They too need new wings.

They probably are... but not publicly.

Hyundai are also very sensitive after they were well behind the others in car development when the hybrid cars came out in 2022.

Plus the Hyundai HQ wont be at all happy about wasting more money and still unable to beat their deadly rival Toyota.

im kinda losing interess in wrc this year but these type of content (and what dirtfish does too) are still really fun to watch. dammit, i guess i became a gen-z, needing 'reality show drama' instead of the actual to sport to get enterteined.

You hasve a point here. Reality more than incar from stages. But what should it be more than a camera in the face of a mechanics then?

i used to enjoy eurosport's 45 minute highlights from the erc. its basically like what redbull tv does for wrc, but it was all compressed into one 45 minute video instead of three 25 minute video where lots of these 25+25+25 are just recaps and introductions (for saturday and sunday). they used to follow some story more close, like ingram battling lukyanuk, or solberg battling lukyanuk, or following the 'local entry' that normally won the race, which was cool. that said, i think most of us like to see these 'behind the scene' stuff, drivers interacting a little bit, some talks with the mechanics. nothing exagerated, just some piece of the 'whats wrong with the car now?". im becoming a fan of dirt fish's weird coverage, where colin clark is the actual star (haha). those bloopers and the big half hour behind the scenes videos they are doing. if i were in charge, i guess i'd make a mix of these stuff. insert the behind the scene stuff + the "follow the story of the rally", all into the 3 day combined highlights into one thing. have that on tv too, on sunday evening. but anyway, we all have ideas on "how to improve wrc promotion and broadcast" here, eh
