Interesting that Stephen Petch has unveiled a Fabia for next year instead of the Festa Rally2. Did think as main Hyundai dealers that he may get an i20. Wonder if we will see any others switching from the Ford.
Hope not, the UK is the last bastion of the rallying Ford...
The question is also which privateer's are going to want to drive a Rally2 Hyundai anyway, when the Toyota, Skoda & Lancia are so much better.and newer ? Maybe just Paddon as he's the only one to get...
Hope they go. It's quite frankly embarrassing for a manufacturer, that is for years now in the top class, to not turn up in a car with the latest regulations next year.
WRC needs full commitment...
Unlike in WRC2, I suspect if Hyundai doesn't enter as a manufacturer ('constructor') then their cars may not be eligible for whatever the 'top class' is called when they merge WRC27 and Rally2.....
I was disappointed to read this. But I guess it shows the high demand for the new Lancia is continuing.
