WRC ADAC Deutschland Rallye 2018

Well, Paddon has had a quite terrible two years now. This year he's the only factory driver yet without a podium.

Agree Paddon had a shocking 2017, but in 2018 he has only competed in 4 rallies to date with 1x 5th position, 2x 4th position and 1x DNF in Portugal when he was actually leading. Still a lot of improvement is required to compete with the TOP 3 drivers, but I do feel he seems to be on the impovement list at the moment.

Hyundai has realized it takes more than just setup to make the car work on tarmac.

Bad luck for the driver and the team then. Probably get to use the third one wih a big time penalty.

Well that's a retarded rule.

Question is, why havent they done anything about it until now...

I think they thought that Neuville and Sordo did somewhat ok in Corsica and Spain so why bother changing too much.
Now they probably realized 2 things:
- there is little point in having Mikkelsen drive as last WRC, even a tiny bit better speed in Germany would let him get 4th instead of 6th

- even Sordo and Neuville are starting to have issues now, the results from the easy SS11/15 are more than telling with all 3 Hyundais as last cars (Østberg stalled on second run)

Well that's a retarded rule.

I don't think we have seen anyone get a penalty for it yet?
Unlike F1 where drivers have 20 grid places penalty a couple of times a year at worst.

They can fix those between rallies, those just have to remain in same spec.
2 available for rally, that´s why there is sealing before each rally.

It's the same with engines. If the engine breaks, you cannot change it. And transmission changes were regulated already in the early 90's, you could only change the gearbox on an overnight service (instead of the 10-20 other services during the day).
