And Neuville is not hanging out with remaining Hyunday boys. Busy signing contracts with Lappi and Breen?

For some reason, all the overseas recce cars have temporary Japanese number plates fitted (diagonal red stripe). In the past, they could use their original plates, as long as they bought local third party insurnace.. N.B. temporary plates are issued by local councils, not the National Government that controls vehicle registration. These temporary plates have Nagoya (City) written on them, so maybe it is a sponsorship deal.

any chance that Solberg is driving as 3rd car?
He was supposed to do recce anyway, but still hasn't seen #8 guys

They never post or are seen before the recce is done

So relax

Actually, it's interesting to see, if and how much Neuville want to prove that he is the best in Hyundai. Landing behind Tänak on Championship standings - practically he can take 2nd place if Tänak fails/retires and he is doing really well (1st or 2nd + a lot of PS points).

Otherwise, it is fight for the rally win. No one cares about Championship points too much I guess.

Luckily, in WRC2 it's a bit different story and I hope we can get nice coverage on that ...

Why not using a proper roadversion Hyundai i20N for recce instead of old bmw 1?
Msport still using volvo?

M-Sport moved into Focus RS recce cars already some years ago.
