https://rallyjournal.com/strong-rumo...dais-wrc-team/ I read it the same here, better explained. But officially it's still rumours.

https://rallyjournal.com/is-hyundai-...ss-speaks-out/ So he finaly admit it they will leave. He said that 2027 regs aren't what Hyundai's vision is. And (again) they try to change those to be more like they want them to be. Why would anyone bother if Hyundai will leave anyway? I mean, what's the point. They already got many advantages and wishes granted... For what. Not appreciate it and still run away.

The headline is ironic. Yes, we didn't see what was wrong with Tänaks car or how the team reacted to different problems during the weekend. Instead we mostly saw Thierry driving and giving interviews.

so if 2026 Hyundai become private team and run by Neuville, how can Neuville be the team manager and driver at the same time

I don't think it's so clear cut. It's the new Regs and their short timing that's the issue.

Hyundai may be looking for some time extension, or a dispensation of a kind (like the Jokers they had brought forward), to allow them to continue.

And with no guarantee of new Manufacturers coming in 2027 the WRC may want to keep those they have at any cost...

I don't buy it. Of course the regs came too late for everyone. But the field will be the same for everyone. What they want? 10 years to prepare? 20 more jokers? Additional testing days? Ballast on competitor cars? Why Toyota or M-Sport don't demand those ridiculous things for them to justify their participation? Why M-Sport, who really don't have any chance of having a good result even bother? Excuse that Hyundai don't have any available model for rallying isn't everyone's else fault, but it's theirs. Also taking them forever to won only 3 titles also, if that's the problem (if they think they will won straight away in a huge field in WEC, they should just wake from their dreams).

I think that they already had a 10-year plan, when they start this journey. And then Cyril just help them drove out of the sport, because his heart isn't really here. I also think that 2027 regulations will be "official" excuse for them to leave for good. Thank god we have them, for all the battles and help keeping the sport alive, but if that's it, right before it could be saved again, it's a huge blow to the whole world.

I'm just realist and not having fingers crossed anymore, because it doesn't have any point.
