[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

Ogier said that in events like Sardinia it will be different and he can't win because he will be sweeping... In 2011 Loeb was sweeping all event long and he won too, without complaining.

He has won most of rallies sweeping without complaining

Yeah, right, Mr. Ogier... I think he was just putting on an act since we have quite a few rally2 regulars this season so it's Friday only when he is first on the road.

New i20 delayed again, until 2016 now. And it's not going to be 3-doors.

I just hope Nadan has not expressed properly. The 5-door version is horrible
If the problem for the delay is due to the production of the 3-door version, why the 5-door version will just debut in Monte Carlo?

I think they have just changed their plans and they find excuses,that's all.if they say that they changed their decision some people might say that they are not reliable team and they work without serious plan.

If the 4th largest vehicle manufacturer in the world decides that a 3 door car is no longer a viable production model then so be it. They will have a very serious plan and in part it will involve the win on Sunday sell on Monday principle.

Lets face it, a 3 door car is an absolute pain to get in and out of the rear seating position and think of mothers with small children trying to get them into and/or out of baby seats and kiddie seats etc. 4/5 door cars are far more practical.
Once you try and get a baby plus a 3year old and a 5 year old into the rear seat of a 3 door car you will understand why their place in the market is very limited.

They do produce new i20 3D. That's obviously not the reason to choose 5D for WRC car.

This is the new i20 3D, actually it's really nice looking car... http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/...e_3133674b.jpg

Maybe Hyundai are not showing all their cards just yet, 2017 regs are still to be released and the new car could be built to current regs but could be built in such a way in can be changed over to the 2017 spec very easily. The more they delay the more information they will have.
