Surprising after being so quiet that Hyundai are now doing a 'full rally simulation' Rally1 test with Dirtfish there to report it.

Maybe they are upset with M-Sport getting all the publicity with the Puma, Breen and Loeb...

Or maybe they were actually doing a lot of testing and not for the public to see.

So experts on this forum say Hyundai is just running a mule which is "current car with new headlights", and Dirtfish says they're already doing a "full rally simulation"...well, DF story could also be just paid propaganda to assure audience that everything is fine, but I don't believe in that personally...

DirtFish it's not the only media invited for the "event".

There's only so much testing you can do in a private facility. You need real roads pretty soon to find out more.

Adamo said the full new car will be ready late Oct / early Nov. But this clearly isnt it.

You'd think they'd wait until that car test to invite the media.

lol.. yes, it's the end of Oct and Hyundai is testing with current car

Maybe it is even the old Accent underneath the new body..

Without even looking at a calendar, I'm pretty confident it's late October...

Y'know, it is possible (believe it or not) that, every now and again, public figures make slightly misleading statements about how far along their cars are in the development process...

Surely not.....What? You mean the team that was the first to order its hybrid parts might be further along with its development than has been suggested? Surely, surely not......
