good news!

„He will work alongside fellow engineering giant of the sport Christian Loriaux.

DirtFish understands Demaison will take the title of technical director, while Loriaux works as WRC technical manager„

What a joke! For what they keep Loriaux? He designed the car which is undriveable. Drivers complain about car behaviour and lack of confidence and they still what to keep him? It’s really interesting…

Did Loriaux design the car? I thought he was brought in late in the process to FIX the original car.... He was contracted from M-Sport as a fixer, not the main designer....

It is a question if he is a fixer or destroyer of initial car? This we will never know because initial car was never competing on the stages. Maybe it was better than what they have now? Who knows? He had a lot if time to improve the current car and we don‘t see any improvements. I don’t remeber if Neuville was telling officially that he had no confidence with the previous generation car. That one has been developed without Loriaux and was quite competitive wining two constructor‘s championships. Since Loriaux is there, Hyunday is nowhere…

At least on testing videos it looked horrible. Also, a person like Loriaux doesn't decide alone which car they send to homologation. They could have sent the original one if it was better than the second edition.

I think this needs to be looked at in context of Hyundai going to WEC, they will need a bigger structure for that.

On the drivers side they know Suninen quite well, so if they rate him he should be am easy choice no? Last year they were ready to get Mikkelsen and jumped on Lappi when he was available. So maybe Suninen is not their first choice.

Absolutely, I thought the same thing and look at the words of Cyril, he hinted about a more complete structure

If I had to guess I’d say Suninen, wish it would be Paddon tbh, but he was just now testing in Sardegna with the i20N Rally 2 car, guess we’ll find out over the weekend.
