Hyundai WRT

Money Money Money, but in all seriousness, isn't Loubet part of the customer program of Hyundai?

That's it. No sense to put in a fourth car just for fun. But if someone have money to pay to drive one, why not! Hyundai is effectively stepping on the toes of M-Sport with the customer/junior programs.

I really dont understand Adamo, why the h.ll he put in loubet in a WRC?
Breen is "proven", but he has loeb, sordo, paddon and Mikkelsen, all 4 9f them is a better choice than this.

can't understand why putting a youngster to prove itself on a wrc is a problem. it ll be in a private or b team, definitely not entered for the win. why use that spot for a regular with no/small development margin in a private/b team with the current regulation? good maybe for the spectator, definitely not for the team.

Once again, there wouldn't be a "fourth car" without business like this.

- If Greensmith didn't have Crown Oil backing, there wouldn't have been a third Fiesta in Monte
- If Jocius didn't buy his drives, there wouldn't have been a fourth Fiesta in Monte
- If Katsuta wasn't backed by Japan, there wouldn't have been a fourth Yaris in Monte

and so on.

Motorsport is not only a sport, it's also business, and we must accept that.

Good for Loubet to have this chance with Hyundai, but it's the last chance gone of ever seeing the C3 WRC 'Evo' in action.

To succeed in motorsport, you need both and I actually believe Loubet might have some of the latter too.

This is how Craig Breen gets the money...

"John Campion sponsored the Irish rally team of Craig Breen and Paul Nagle who posted multiple first-place finishes and won the 2019 Irish Tarmac Championship under the CJJ banner. CJJ Motorsports is proud to continue its formal relationship with Breen and Nagle as they embark on the 2020 World Rally Championship season".

Acording to Norwegian Parc Ferme website Loeb got asked by Adamo if he wanted to drive in sweden, and the first thing hit his head was no.
Is this a sign of that not even Loeb can get the grip of the car?
He said he just want to drive the remaining rallies after sweden.
it was original 6? So 4 left?

My guess for the remaining season of Loeb would be Mexico, Safari, New Zealand, Turkey and possibly Germany or Japan.

Loeb doesn't have a problem with the car on gravel tbh, and Sweden was an event he didn't even want to originally do.

No point writing him off yet, but he is an old man who is now 8years on from his original WRC retirement...

He isn't on the same level as the top 3 for starters, but could compete with some favourable road positions.
