Hyundai WRT

The interweb is suggesting that the Russian rallying with a Bulgarian licence is the lead candidate to take the 3rd Hyundai seat in 2026. Seen that on several well connected websites already.

My guess is Sordo doing some events (especially now that Portuguese info is saying that he won't run in Portugal again) and some other "young" driver sharing the car. Suninen looks like to be in good position, but I would say that Lindholm should also be included there. Even though he haven't started a rally with the Rally1, he was Hyundai driver up until last year, driving in some tests and shaking down cars before events.

Sordo and Jon Armstrong would be a great option IMO. Yes I am biased but Jon has the speed and youth on his side.
He did very well in the ERC this season with an aging Fiesta. He is talented.
Sordo is a safe pair of hands which Hyundai will need to start competing again with Toyota.
