Hyundai WRT

Might be just as fast, but sound and looks are lacking. I can't get much more views on an ERC round compared to a Norwegian rally

Before 2017, wrc's weren't really looking that more agressive than the rc2 cars today. They were just as wide.

And that sound can be fixed easily.

Hyundai: We will be WRC champions in 2026..

*** (maybe) if Toyota agrees to drive with rally2 cars

[deephouse]

Champions of whining for sure. And my prediction is that they will still not field more than 3 cars at each event.

That has to be the attitude and I'm sure the one Adamo had when they did win the Championship. There's no point in Hyundai being there if they aren't aiming for the top. The whole Team need to buy in to it and what their hard work is for, otherwise they really dont have a chance of beating Toyota.

Hyundai Motorsport has strengthened its resources by adding two valuable members of staff, which will oversee programmes in the World Rally Championship and WEC

Over 13 rallies (full 2024 season)

2025 Fourmaux: 96 points, 21 stage wins, 9 stages in lead, 3 podiums (3x3.)

2024: Hyundai 3rd car (Sordo,Lappi, Mikkelsen): 117 points, 12 stage wins, 21 stages in lead, 1 win, 2 podiums (2.+3.)

2024 Fourmaux at MSport: 162 points, 11 stage wins, 1 stage in lead, 5 podiums (5x3.)

Would Fourmaux do as bad if he stayed at MSport? Prbly yes cause Sesks also seemed to confirm Puma got slower. Still if you compare expectations from Fourmaux and others at the start of the year this is quite a letdown. Speed was usually decent (no very bad rallies) especially good on tarmac, but seemingly at the expense of consistency.

Sesks also crashed and broke tyres a lot.. it's not cars fault..

But Fourmaux is good choice for Hyundai.. he has speed and one day wins a rally also

[mknight]

Right now Solberg would be a much better choice.

This year he finally got consistent and also got an actual win. Fourmaux got backwards with this 110% pushes until crash. Specially the stupid mistakes after making a small mistake 1-2 stages before stand out.

Solberg will definitely pick any (small) number of Rally1 starts at Toyota over full season at Hyundai though.

Fourmaux has been a bit of an idiot at times this year, but I think he's improving.
