Hyundai are already saying how they have a lot of new engineers and want to design the new car differently.
The question then is if Neuville can adapt to a different car or if they try to make it for Neuville and Tanak might struggle.
Mostly relevant on tarmac where Neuville still uses more open diffs and handbrake to turn on most corners (see Targa Florio vids).

It's weird why the Hyundai has always the one with the set-up issues (for different drivers).
The current-spec Fiesta WRC and Yaris WRC have both been driven by a lot of different top drivers and without any such major problems.
Surely Hyundai can now also make their (new) car suitable for all driving styles.

Dammit I often read something online and then I cant stop thinking about how these Hybrids will hurt WRC...
Back in 2017 they had new cars that were more expensive, faster, louder, with huge aero and we went crazy about it... And look at it now: 8ish cars in the top class, VW left, Citroen left, Ford is not really there... not to mention the talent out there in Rally2 that should be in WRC, like Lappi, Breen or even Mads, Mikkelsen, Paddon and Sordo for example... but theres no cars and theres no chances of a privateer having the $ to compete at the top level. Idk, now we are getting into hybrids and like... for what?
Not sure this is going to work. I know theres nothing we can do and Im going to love to watch them in the next years but aaaahhhhh.. its just ... aaaaaah
haha

I still wonder where the air from the rear cooling vents goes. Especially since aerodynamic effects from "hidden ducts" are not allowed.
On the Toyota it might look like it goes to the "diffuser" in the bumper which is not really a diffuser but just an exit of this air. I guess they then judge that it is not "hidden" duct and that means it's allowed?
EDIT: Nvm Lluis pointed that out already a month ago:

That is yes, but what comes in has to go out somewhere - that is the question Where?
