Is Kopecky going to try and do some events as a privateer or is he satisfied with Czech Championship only?

Grönholm confirms that they couldn't afford to buy the seat for Huttunen at Hyundai's WRC2 program, while Gryazin and Veiby could.

Well he was chosen by HMDP (Hyundai Motorsport Driver Development Program) and show absolutely nothing. By the way he was chosen over Berkvist, Kruuda, Lopez, Mandel, Loubet, Greensmith and Rovanpera. Last two are sitting in World Rally Car right now.

Yep he had a chance already and didnt take it. A surprise as he looked to have all the attributes as a junior.

The two times he drove a Skoda R5 he showed pace (won Finland WRC2 in 2017 and made an overall stage win in Sweden 2019). The Hyundai R5 just isn't a good car. You can also make the same comparisons with Loubet, who switched to Skoda for 2019.
Anyway, Huttunen's career wasn't even my point, but Grönholm proves what we assumed earlier, that you have to pay for a WRC2 seat in a factory team. So much for a "junior program".Last edited by AnttiL; 3rd February 2020 at 15:13.

well, to be fair, the sticker on the car says "Hyundai customer program", not junrioe program or driver development program.

For example this news article has only "Junior program" in the title https://motorsport.hyundai.com/junio...am-adds-rally/ but later it's referred to as "Customer Racing Junior Driver program"

"show absolutely nothing". I remember this one differently. Did you ever see Huttunen in stages with i20?
I think he did all what was possible with that car. Which driver you think had better speed than him with the same car?
I don't want to argue but he is talented lad, no question. That's why he was chosen to HMDP.
