    What do the drivers feel about this new rally? Has anyone made any comment yet like they did for Arctic?

    Arctic or Sweden are so fast, special and one-off events that they can't really be compared to typical tarmac or gravel events.. + Tänak has had good starting pos in Sweden and now Arctic also.

    No stage wins in Monza and not many in Rally Estonia either. Not saying everything is suddenly lost, but Hyundai seems to be difficult to drive comfortably, knowing he could win stages/rallies more easily.
    my last post about this topic.

    like i said i would wait for couple of more rallies for conclusions....Last season after Estonia, we couldnt get the clear picture of him on gravel with technical problems in Turkey and Sardegna, the power stage performances there on both rallies was very good but that was basically it.

    havent seen anything yet but i really liked it and i hope it stays in the calendar, now after Corsica and Germany have been left out its a good replacement with a mix of both

    very challenging for the drivers.

    I wonder if the Stewards also gave the whole Toyota team a little tummy tickle too.

    It was not tight (nobody else had problems), he just lost too much time with his accident.

    Okay, let's wait for next rallies..
    You really think they can change the car to a ,,unicorn'' during next weeks and Tänak will dominate everybody left&right?
    Won't happen..
    Neuville has been in the team for 8 years and achieved no WDC..
    He has NO other knowledge or information about other teams engineering than Hyundai.

    But okay, let's wait till another events and hope that i20 changes to Yaris.

    youre being silly now, it doesnt have to change to Yaris.

    for your information Hyundai won 3 out of 4 last gravel rallies, on two of them they were even 1-2, on Rally Estonia and Sardegna and if i remember right they were also 1-2 in Turkey before punctures.

    thats why i say i will wait and see what will happen. we havent had gravel rallies for half a year and dont know at the moment how Tänak performs there and everybody else.
