Neuville starts with the advantage of knowing the car inside out, and as we have seen it is clearly a car that needs a certain finesse to get the best out of, particularly on tarmac. If Tanak can get the better of Neuville consistently it will be a bloody good effort.
On (dry) tarmac the big question is what Hyundai is going to do if the car as is doesn't suit Tanak (like Loeb and Mikkelsen) while it suits Neuville (and Sordo). That will be the real test for Adamo imo. Since it will be Tanak and Loeb vs Neuville and Sordo it is likely he will go for changes. Question is if they are possible with just homologation jokers.

Then again on tarmac there is only Monte (which is unlikely to be dry and warm most of the rally) and then a very long break for 10 months until Germany. By that time it is possible Hyundai has completely new car based on the new I20 and this problem might be completely moot. Starting to wonder if next year calendar with much reduced tarmac rallies might have had something to say for Tanak's signing.
