    Oh sorry! You are right. I forgot that Huttunen hasn't won WRC3 yet!

    Hopefully we will get some proper three-way battle for WRC 3 title in Bergamo mountains

    it's simply politics of Hyundai Motorsport, for Ypres they also offered Team B car for one good driver

    I thought Tsjoen would have been more like having an enjoyable gentleman in a top class car in his home rally, and the car had his own sponsor decals

    Tsjoen is a paying customer indeed, and sort of gentleman driver, but he might have got some special deal anyway. With his company he's been buying steel from Hyundai Steel for years (they produce very high quality steel for deep drawing), and has been invited to WRC events by Hyundai in the past. But that's a bit off-topic.

    It's true that the rule states that they cannot swap drivers between A and B teams so all of Sordo, Breen and Loeb are out of question...maybe it's also a slap in the face to Mikkelsen, who talked bad about them?
    Rule also says that 2C (or any other "B team") can enter only one (1) car for manufacturers championship, I strongly believe that Loubet is faster with WRC than Veiby.
    So probably Loubet for points and OC Veiby "just for fun"

    To be honest I don't think either Loubet or Veiby is in a WRC car because of their extraordinary talent...

    In the case of Loubet, it's clear that FFSA is funding those drives. But for Veiby, the Norwegian article stated that Hyundai is paying all expenses.

    So there would have been the three factory cars, Loubet, Tsjoen and this mystery driver? Six cars altogether?
