I’m happy to see him have another go, and if they are putting Sunninen in the WRC2 car in Spain it makes sense. I think the message is quite clear from Adamo about what’s expected of him.
Whatever we think about his rate of progress, it’s pretty clear that he is being fast tracked through the Hyundai set up, rightly or wrongly.
I’m with everyone on the Co-Driver tho, having someone like Seb Marshall with him would help a lot I think.

Paid enough money
I believe they are still paying for this drive. It's an investment, and getting one foot in the door of Hyundai considering next year and the possible replacement for Breen. Or maybe they are aiming at a program at Hyundai next year where they can have WRC2 and some single drives in a customer Rally1 car, if there is one...
What does Solberg driving the customer car have to do with Breen's contract?
BTW how long Veiby is banned from WRC events?

It will be until 22th November, so no more WRC events this year...

So that's why Solberg starts using WRC car.

???????? He got a good result in Arctic despite spinning a bunch of times and going into a lot of snowbanks which he was lucky to get out of, and retired on the first stage of the Safari. Where is this "way better" you speak of?
Oliver needs a solid program in WRC2 driving a single car for an entire season, at least. He's not learning neither the rallies nor the cars (every other event he's driving something else) he's driving, and at this rate the best case scenario is that this will have been a lost year of development.

To me the latest news are more small hints that Breen is going to MSport. Otherwise it seems Hyundai is a shit show, I think Adamo won't see the end of the year in charge.

I think maybe Oliver is more made for driving 400+ hp car than RC2 car. Do not forget his journey in RX with 600+hp cars. He might know how to use the Hp...?

He needs to handle such things. It´s a long rally, and he should apply that in his thoughts.
