    5 years since Hyundai had understreering issues in Spain...and they still have understreering issues and only Neuville can fight in the top.
    2 years each for Mikkelsen, Loeb and Tanak and limited change.

    It sounds quite funny when Solberg comes to end of first day and says they have to try to fix understeer....no shit.

    All except Neuville looking forward to next year I guess.

    Following with my month old post.

    We got last rally of 2017 i20 and all drivers (maybe bare Suninen) complained about understeer on allive.

    The funny thing though (as also pointed out by J. Porter) is that they all complain, yet the times weren't all that bad.

    Well a car that handels/feels "bad" isn't necessarily slow. Sometimes drivers talk very fondly of uncompetitive cars because they were very balanced to drive.

    Who could be taking over from Adamo?
    Doe they have a candidate inhouse, or will they get one from outside?
    What qualifications are important in a role like this?

    In other news, https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/n...pdate/6860567/

    Thierry Neuville’s World Rally Championship co-driver Martijn Wydaeghe is expecting to contest next year’s Monte Carlo Rally season opener after sustaining a shoulder injury in a testing crash last week.
    Neuville and Wydaeghe were involved in a frightening crash while testing Hyundai’s all-new 2022 Rally1 hybrid challenger in France last weekend.

    The i20 ran off the road, suffering heavy damage which curtailed the team’s maiden test of the car expected to be close to the final iteration that will contest the WRC’s first season of new hybrid regulations.

    Paramedics treated Wydaeghe’s shoulder injury on site before he and Neuville were transferred to a hospital in Montpellier for further evaluation. Hyundai confirmed the pair was released from hospital on Saturday.

    Wydaeghe has now returned home confirming he has undergone surgery on his shoulder, while also revealing the injury is expected to heal in four weeks.

    The news should mean he will be fit enough to contest the Monte Carlo season opener on 20-23 January.

    “Hello everyone! Just wanted to give you some news!,” read a post on Wydaeghe’s social media channels.

    “I had a little surgery on my collarbone and I’m back home. All good and don’t worry I will have fully recovered in four weeks.

    “Thanks you for all your kind messages of support and see you in Monte Carlo.”

    This year was Wydaeghe’s first in the WRC having been plucked to replace Neuville’s long-time co-driver Nicolas Gilsoul just weeks before the Monte Carlo season opener.

    The duo went on to score two WRC wins this season in Belgium and Spain to finish third in the championship standings behind Toyota's title-contending pair of Sebastien Ogier and Elfyn Evans.

    Wydaeghe’s update on his injury comes on the same day Hyundai confirmed team principal Andrea Adamo will leave the team with immediate effect after six years.

    Adamo’s day-to-day responsibilities will be assumed in the short-term by company president Scott Noh, with support from the respective department managers until a new appointment is announced.
    Only you know your true potential.
    This year we rally #ForCraig

    Just keep Gabriele Tarquini's name. At least for the touring car arm.

    What incident where Adamo shouted to one person or several are you talking about?
