    I'm sure i saw a short clip with Østberg just before the finish of one stage, some of the cars now have HD camera's so maybe they bought a few more, price was 150.000€ for one kit wasn't it?

    Loeb was the slowest Hyundai in 2 out of his 3 starts so far (and shared in Monte) and didn't get any faster on saturday /sunday in any of his 3 starts.

    With C3 he was fighting on podium in each of the 3 rallies he drove and was fastest or shared fastest Citroen.

    Here he put some good times in the afternoon but is still 6th. So basically he is just now coming to somewhere around his level in C3, about time.

    Since you like to pick Mikkelsen out he led in the Hyundai on his first rally and led 2 out of first 3 starts. Concistency is another matter.
    Only the top 3 have real consistency in fighting for podiums for the last year, and that's if we discount Ogier and Neuville in Finland.

    Lol ∆

    He was not comfortable with the car... He said that many times. He's getting used to it now, but let's give him a tons or testing and a year and a half like Andreas before we compare

    Howcome you don`t get tired of this protective talking? He is in the king series, in a factory car, the same he started in back in 2017 and is not delivering, it is a miracle, in a situation where Hyundai desperately wants one of the titles.
    Loeb, in Monte, in his first outing, was 7 and 8 for some time, climbed to 3rd once, finished in 4th. Third Hyundai crashed...
    Sweden, struggled, but still, his last outing in a snowy event was 6 years ago? Third Hyundai was promising at some point, although being his home event, the end result and talk weren`t so good...pointswise, OK. Corsica, Loeb failed due to driving error and have to agree, nothing special afterwards, was otherways an interesting event also, with Ogier and Citroen also struggling. In his 4th outing with the i20, first one on gravel, six years later on moist/wet gravel, he was the closest man to Tänak last afternoon, whereas their third car, once again, is 8th.

    They're supposed to have something like 15 kits. Østberg wasn't just shown on All Live at all so maybe the transmitter didn't work.
