it seems you didnt bother to read the article

A bit triggerhappy there..

[pantealex]

official now https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/solbe...two-year-deal/

Since when has Dirtfish being Official ?

You should have linked WRC.com or "Hyundai Team" news...

does it really make a difference?

were they wrong then?

jesus youre being so captious here lately with everyone

Happy for Oliver. Well deserved.
Huttunen will have his share at Huyndai as well. No matter Olivers contract.

(To me I expect Oliver to step up in WRC class 2022, replacing Tanak going back to Toyota after Ogier leave)

Not trying to be picky here but technically he is right. And this now brings us back to WRC's biggest problem. Official WRC channels are usually very quiet, really bringing the news very late or not at all. Dirtfish now is being considered official, even I did not see a problem here until Pantealex pointed at it. Dirtfish on the other hand is not an "official" source but keeps us more up to date. And now there is our forum and some national forums where we get the most information out of it. Nothing personal but for me Pante's post was all about that.

Anyway Oliver himself has confirmed it so all good....

Basically WRC.com is not any bit more official than Dirtfish or even rallit.fi. The WRC promoter or FIA does not need to approve the driver contracts of a team. Hyundai sends a press release to outlets that would be interested in publishing this information, and WRC.com is one of them.

Here is the news article on Hyundai's website https://motorsport.hyundai.com/excit...nts-for-wrc-2/

Think you will find that all three platforms carried the story within 5 minutes of each other.

Oliver had offer from 3 teams!

Well I already wrote few days ago how it's logical for Hyundai.

Anyway he might struggle a bit with current I20 in first half of 2021, but doesn't look like there will be many rallies run during that period anyway.
