TECH GURU LORIAUX LEAVES M-SPORT FOR HYUNDAI

This is big news! Looks like Tänak will stay with Hyundai then...

I was surprised to read he was still at M-Sport. Didn't hear anything about him for years.

Same, my impression is that he wasn't directly involved in rally car development in last 5 years at least.

Maybe he goes to a more "development manager" position.

I don't see this being a big factor.

Chris Williams has been the lead on the M-Sport rally cars for many years.

And a tech person joining Hyundai doesn't also solve Tanak's problems with the boss....

Is M-Sport only team where he hasn´t had problems with BOSS ?

Tänak has problems with Adamo? :O

Oh he had problems with Malcolm as well, just it was the opposite kind of problem with Malcolm not being satisfied with him and with his performances. Haven't recalled any problems with Adamo, just quite the opposite, even in Croatia before leaving service Adamo hugged Ott and from the outside seems to be all well but it could be deceiving.

But on the other hand as mentioned here before I have heard that Ott doesn't rank the competence of the Hyundai team very highly. It just as well could be a hearsay as it has come to me through many sources in between and could be lost in translation so I haven't taken these stories very seriously though

It's not so straightforward when we don't know the backgrounds. Some reports say the Hyundai Rally1 car is already tested secretly, some say it will never happen, how could a main designer change anything at this point, let alone design from scratch, when the homologations should be finalized by July 1? Or is he still of help in the additional development process? I'm not familiar with the guy's work.
