[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

[Fide]

PETTER SOLBERG: I read some articles about rumours regarding Petter's return to WRC with a Citroen factory car... Anybody have any news about it ?

[N.O.T]

No his future is with RX.

Hyundai already testing their new WRC car based on the new i20.

seems the new one will be much more beautiful than the current i20


Hyundai Motorsport Team Principal Michel Nandan commented: "We have worked on the development of our future WRC for some time now and we have managed to get the first prototype on its wheels month dernier.Les data and experience we accumulated during our first WRC season has contributed to our approach to this new car. It starts when we are absolutely sure that it will be ready to replace the current i20 WRC - we are not in a course.C'est a car completely different from the current model -the platform is different, the car is longer, lower and wider and it has a new engine and a new transmission.Bien course, we are only at the beginning of a long process and we will continue to work hard on developing and pursuing trials in the coming months and throughout 2015 "

The new i20 WRC is going to be a 5 door as well?

There are some rumors here in Poland (well, spread mostly by fanatics), about Kubica's taking seat in Citroen WRT instead of Ostberg, next season. Though I find it completely out of logic (changing driver who takes 7th place now for a guy which is 15th, with very mediocre performance so far??), but I still would like to see your opinions on this matter.

Citroen is very different car, some drivers find it hard to adapt to. I can't tell how well Kubica would suit it, probably not for his driving style, probably he can adjust to it and make better results, only practice can tell.

EDIT: I know he began with DS3 RRC 2 years ago, but probably that is little different.
