Hyundai WRT

Another possibility is Hyundai ( if they stay in wrc) would be to have a 2 year development program for a new i20 2022 hybrid wrc car, so they don't go into the hybrid-wrc series with an under developed car or to spread the hybrid wrc development program workload with an on going wrc competition program.

Check out Loeb on the start of the vid:

That's a style you'd expect from Galli on tarmac. Maybe they switched with the guy from the DS3 at 2:20.

this is the way you have to drive with that car, exactly like Neuville does, sliding around, its a miracle for me how he doesnt destroy his tyres with it

Yes that's my point, either he is trying it to see what it does or he already gave up
trying to adapt the car and goes for Neuville's style instead. (Mikkelsen came to this conclusions after Spain last year)

Problem is that with this kind of driving it is on pure speed typically slower than at least 2 Toyotas, at least one Fiesta (Evans) and sometimes even than C3.

Putting it on 4-5 place unless others have issues, which luckily for Neuville they often do.

In Corsica Evans, Tänak and Meeke were faster than Neuville, in Spain last year Loeb (in C3), Ogier (Fiesta), Evans, Tänak and Latvala were all faster.

The road is covered with dust... what do you expect?

Did you see the DS3?
Also there are now multiple vids from the SD from multiple corners, same story. One or often both DS3s drive clean while Loeb goes sideways.

Digged out the vid of Neuville from Corsica that EstWRC found:

Neuville 1:45, Tänak 2:25, Evans 2:45

Evans at 2.55*

yep, this is one example, i remember there also being other vids where Thierry is sliding around

That doesn't matter. Clean roads, slippery roads, even snowy roads, the fastest driving style is the same.

If loeb is drifting, it is because the car is forcing him to do so.

I imagine Breen being choosed instead of Paddon was endlessly discussed here, but has Hyundai officially explained it? To me it’s still a mystery. Anyway, it’s great to have both back to the WRC, although it may be tough to debut on a new car and team in such a demanding event. Fingers crossed for them!
