Sounds good if true. And better to use and promote a sporty car than an SUV.

I think the Veloster ETCR is just the choice of test mule. They’ve already confirmed the Rally1 car will be based on the i20N - but still, it’s not an awful SUV!

Like I often do I mostly agree with Barry.
In Croatia he seemingly has basically just about all advantages he will ever get to do well on tarmac and he has to do well to move on from "fast gravel only" picks.
Only two small things:
Is that true on tarmac? He only ever drove one Belgian rally against R5s in it and I haven't heard any comments from there.All in all, Breen has never been able to compete on a more even keel before and fight for the top places in a car that he loves and can win rallies.
This partly contradicts the whole article..... cause Breen has no good WRC result on tarmac and not really on slower gravel either. Which is why Croatia is very important.Breen has all the minerals to succeed as a top-line driver for a factory team in the WRC. Those that know have known that for a long while now.
Realistically a good result would be if he is faster than at least one of the other 5 (Neuville, Tanak, Evans, Ogier, Rovanpera) and not far behind the others. Being just behind all these would still be kind of ok, anything worse is game over for future tarmac starts as long as Sordo is driving.Last edited by mknight; 13th April 2021 at 00:26.
