WRC Rally Sweden 2020

Welcome! My fan history is similar, I remember the 90's well but I got bored in the early 00's, then coming back along the new cars in 2017.

On the topic, it also seems Hyundai is suited better to rougher than smoother rallies in general. For example, it has never done well in Finland.

Welcome to the forum.



Obviously we don't know and we don't have detailed telemetry or other info so we can just speculate.
In general I'd say there are two main theories:
- Yaris is "softer" and hugs the road better, so when surface is smooth it can stay low and hug the surface which together with better aero makes it faster, Hyundai is much more stable and suspension absorbs rough surface better so drivers can push harder in rough conditions without getting thrown around.
- I20 seems harder to set-up and small changes seem to do a lot (until they changed damper supplier last year they also had like 50 dampers to choose from), so after first pass they can analyze the setup and tweak it better for second runs

How much any of these is correct is hard to tell, might be it's for some other reason completely. But it's a fact that Hyundais do better on second runs (especially on gravel) and on rougher stages compared with Toyota.

I would say it's probably a combination of both of your theories.

Anyone seen any kind of vid with Adamo since the start of the rally? Cause I haven't, not in Alllive or anywhere else since Thursday. Tommi is on almost tall the time and Millener has been on DirtFish twice.. but no Adamo.
