Fourmaux: We tested and compared, and there is no reason to go to Central European Rally with the 2024 car. We all agree on that.

Well that was expected. No surprise

Weird that still no news about Fourmaux and Tanaks contacts. Fourmaux did only a one year deal if I remember right

Yes, the only contracted Hyundai driver is Thierry. No leaks no nothing.

I also follow F1 and NBA a bit. In both, they have some leaks all the time to keep fans and media around the world talking about the sport. Sometimes I think it is intentional. WRC basically once a month and after the event, there is like a vacuum. Sport is dead. Zero engagement.

Anouncements in WRC world are usually in late december. And when they are they don't change anything, so don't be surprised. Then we have F1 where things are out publicly 10 years prior.

Ott Tänak will run what is effectively a 2024-specification Hyundai i20 N Rally1 in Central European Rally next week, feeling it will be better suited to the low-grip asphalt !

Well that was expected. No surprise

(pun intended).

Well I’m surprised, Tänak has clearly been better with the 25 machine. I thought he doesn’t want to even hear about the 24 machine.

In Monte he was really struggling with it when it was slippery and unpredictable

Andrew Wheatley will make an immediate return to the World Rally Championship service park after joining Hyundai Motorsport as the Korean firm’s WRC sporting director.

Cyril will concentrate on overall management across all programmes, and this new person will be dedicated to WRC. Seems to be a known person in the service park but not from Hyundai.

Seems my sources were indeed well-informed...

"After confirming it will remain in the WRC next season, Hyundai is expected to retain its current three drivers – Thierry Neuville, Ott Tänak and Adrien Fourmaux – with the two world champions understood to be under contract already and the Frenchman reckoned to be on the verge of signing an extension of his current single-season agreement."
