See the whole season. Sadly that car is really bad. Loads of old parts and without development according to some journalists.

Hyundai said they wouldn’t focus as much on developing the car this year (& they also dropped the official support), but they said they would evaluate the situation at the end of the year. I think they said that at the start of the year.

That fits with N going to all-electric.

Confirmed. No wonder Suninen & Lindholm continue to struggle...

Does the Fabia have the new longer gearbox yet? I noticed in Finland they briefly showed Solberg's speed data topping out at 189kmh.

I don't know but there were multiple modifications to the trasnmission homologated earlier this year.

It's strange, seeing Camilli is a real blast from the past. When I started watching WRC1, maybe 2015 or 2016, he was on the fringes of it. I saw your post and thought "Is he still going?"
