Hyundai WRT

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Seems Hyundai put down the i20 next year? Not just a new modell?

They aren't making a new Rally2 car until there is clarity on any new Regs. But as the Skoda and Toyota Rally2 are still selling strongly and there are many 100s of top Rally2 cars running I dont see why the Regs for the Class can change much.

Maybe Hyundai are just keeping their budget for improving their Rally1 car.

Okay, they’ll double their hybrid range from 7 currently to 14 models, but in the sea of EV’s, this doesn’t give me much confidence in their WRC future especially as all sports models will follow the Ioniq 5 N…so much for 2027 and beyond I guess…*sigh*

But then why would they leave to go to another hybrid ran series (rumours of WEC)?

Some rumours that the N versions will still be developed in specific models of the hybrid range.

No you're absolutely right but it remains to be seen if it'll be like i20N, i30N, Kona N, Elantra N or merely N-line trim levels.

Its possibly Paddon's last ever rally in Europe this weekend !

The fact that Hyundai aren't creating a new Rally2 car could be why he'll only be driving in NZ or Asia in future...

[skarderud]

The fact that Hyundai don't put anything into the Rally2 car, or any team in WRC2 or ERC, is the proof that Hyundai won't be around for ever.
Is it any proposals for changes in the Rally2 formula?

As a result, it is our compatriot Christian Loriaux who will take over the management of operations at the rally level with i20 WRC1s which should be aligned in 2026 by the French team PH Sport.

Hyundai will also be half private team in WRC in 2026..?
