So Hayden Paddon won ERC for the second year. In the second half of this season he and his team finally got the Hyundai working, a feat which apparently eluded the WRT, and looked dominant. And now he's going back to lower-level rallying, or so I've read.

This seems like a missed opportunity for Hyundai WRT, surely they could put him and his support crew into WRC2 next year.
