    He does not pay for the car.

    I bet that is not at all true...

    In the same way that there are Even logos all over his WRC2 car, this is isn't a free ride.....

    Well there is a small chance that WRC car will suit him better than R5, there are a few drivers which are like that (and also the other way around). But based on how many rallies he has done in multiple different cars without big success I doubt it.

    Imo he is turning into a new Matt Wilson, ok speed, just not enough to get on podium. Better to watch him than Al Quassimi or something like that thought. On the other hand he is at least partly closing the door for people like Hutunen.

    With regards to Monza it is possible it will be the car spec from before mid 2019 that Loubet is driving... in that case I can't see how he can be faster than anyone of 8 "factory" drivers even on single stages.

    With Hyundai, you mean Hyundai Norway or something? Hard to believe Hyundai Motorsport is paying for the ride. I would believe it if he would be WRC2 champion by now or something.

    Yes. It's hard to imagine that Hyundai chose Veiby over, for example, Huttunen.

    If it comes to Veiby-Huttunen choice, it is very easy Huttunen has still some job to do in WRC 3. Veiby can't even score in WRC 2.

    Here is about payment: https://www.vg.no/sport/motorsport/i...m-utrolig-kult

    Sure, it is strange. Maybe it has sth common with Team B and taking points from Toyota? I do not know whether they officially registered Hyundai 2C Competition as a Team B. According to pre-covid sporting rules Team B cannot give points for main manu, but could take it away from rivals. And there were also some restrictions about who can drive in Team B. So it is not that easy just to put Sordo/Breen in fourth i20 WRC. Loeb is focused on Dakar.

    Of course, small chance that Veiby will be faster than Toyota trio, but...

    They did register 2C, they even got their first manufacturer points in Sardegna (Loubet retired both Estonia and Turkey on the final day).

    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?
