Hyundai WRT

[mknight]

Hyundai will end by 2025??

Sounds a bit like Citroen who were vocal for quite long they would leave after 2020 due to no hybrid....then left a year earlier when Ogier left.

"Moreover, our customers can identify with the car as it is based on a production model and not some engineering fantasy.... Our competitors in the production cars market are similar to the ones we have in the WRC and that makes the challenge potentially rewarding."

"Entering the WRC is rather part of a broader development... Hyundai Motorsport is thought to become an engineering platform for commercialization of performance cars. By transferring emotive and performance learning from the WRC car to the production cars, and by that getting some ROI, it is the first step of making the Hyundai Motorsport somewhat similar to what AMG has been to Mercedes"

Director of Marketing & PR at Hyundai Motorsport, Stefan Ph. Henrich talking to Hans Erik Næss in 2013. (The promotional value of motorsport culture: a sociological investigation of the FIA World Rally Championship)

Neuville, Sordo, Lappi, Breen, Suninen..
Neuville full season and other guys sharing two cars?
I doubt Suninen is okay with only rally2 again..

I think Neuville Lappi Breen fuel season and Sordo Suninen sharing 1 car.

I understood that they won't put out 4 cars next season..

But oh well, hopefully will see soon
