Wrong tense. He will be.

Disappointing debut for the Hyundai R5 with two mechanical retirements and only a couple of half decent stage times.

Only one type of rally and early days, but normally the best cars are pretty good straight away.

Let's see what Abbring can do in Wales..

Shame that Fisher had problems

According to diariomotor, Citroen will speed up C3’s R5 version in order to have ASAP a replacement for the problematic DS3. The Evo kit it's a disgrace and apparently teams can’t remove it once it’s registered on their car’s passport.

Yes, very disappointing debut of the new Hyundai. I remember being very surprised when I saw all the optimism before the car even appeared:

Van den Heuvel Motorsport have ordered a Hyundai R5, hoping to drive Rally Germany with it.

First order for the Hyundai i20 R5 from the Italian HMI team.

I even asked the question:

Is that not buying a pig in a poke?

But Mirek assured me that everything was going to be all right:

Their WRC is good and they are very rich and capable team. It's quite sane to expect a good product.

And now look at this - 2 retirements and only Fabio Andolfi at the finish line, over 20 minutes behind the leader...

But there is still hope - let's see what the next event brings - 3 Staedte Rallye in Germany on October 21, with Hermann Gassner behind the wheel... I wish him good luck!

Fabio Andolfi and Manuel Fenoli are going to drive Hyundai i20 R5 in the Rallye International du Valais on October 22-24. Good luck!

Guillaume Dilley won the first rally with a I20 R5. He won a local rally in Belgium this weekend in preparation for the Condroz Rally, last rally of the Belgian Championship.
