I think Juha Kankkunen's autobiography suggests that he wasn't even going for the title in 1992. He was very tired after doing the long 1990 and 1991 seasons and was going to do only a partial program, but ended up supporting Auriol for most of the year and in the end found himself fighting for the title at the last round!
Speaking of that year's 1000 Lakes Rally, Alen was probably already past his best days and never really found himself in the underdeveloped Celica.
It's interesting that probably Sainz made his decision to go to Lancia before making the car a winner towards the end of the season, whereas the Delta development was probably minimal for most of 1992 as the factory dropped the support after 1991, making it an old car for 1993.Last edited by AnttiL; 5th February 2018 at 21:35.

The waiting can be also to pressure Hyundai with the new contract. But then again, I would think that would have been solved by now already and this article yesterday from dirtfish got my hopes...
