Rally Chile Biobio 2025

I have understood the Hyundai has to be driven more agressively to be fast with it. Tänak has mentioned in many cases, that the car itself drives unnaturaly for him and he likes to drive differently.

Tänak obviously has driven over the limit in many cases and a smart drive would have been better. Still the Portugal response from FX seems like lame excuse to shift the responsibility to Tänak. If you want to win, then you have to be the fastest and if the car breaks with this speed, then it is not strong enough. Toyotas haven't had this kind of issues for a long time anymore.

Agree with that 100%

This!

If you want to see aggressive style then watch how Fourmaux drivers or Lappi back in the day. That’s aggressive style

And I guess last year he didn't drive anywhere agressively, especially there, when he bin it completely on several ocassions

I don’t get this argument. Ogier binned three rallies in a row last year, was he also driving aggressively then?

In case of Fourmaux and Lappi, they are/were all the time sideways or power sliding. That is one form of aggressiveness.

But you can also be aggressive when you brake very late and accelerate hard, cut corners and use road edges, you are very committed (staying flat-out over crests, jumps, or blind corners, trusting pace notes or not taking slow when there are rough places on the stage), high physical inputs from driver.

The engine that failed for Tanak was actually from Fourmaux ! Tanak took his car after Paraguay because it had a new transmission.

As Tanak finished Rally Chile to get 1 point, this means for CER someone in the team will either get the car with dodgy engines, or a 5 minute penalty...

There should be 6 other cars each with 2 engines at the other end of Bavaria.

But interesting how they changed the plates from Fourmaux in Paraguay 924, to Tanak in Chile 914 which was his in Sweden 926. I'm sure it's all tickety-boo.

Hyundai? Where is that 4th car, you loudly talk at the beginning of the season? We all know Neuville will not be the one, who will get this car.

I just hope, that the car he will receive will not fail again, which is highely likely it will somehow.

Maybe this shows just how tight their budget really is. Its already been heard of them re-using old parts and at times struggling for a test car.

Is it known how many Rally1 Cars they've built that are still available?

So it's mean that Hyundai alredy do a "car name" slot swap before Paraguay.
If Tanak in Chile run a 'Fourmaux' Paraguay engine and 2nd engine to this slot was Sweden Tanak engine it's mean than Fourmaux drive same car slot as Tanak in Sweden.
BTW Can they just add 4 car, pay entry fee to CER and than retire from rally to scrap Tanak Chile engine?
