Hyundai WRT

[rallyfiend]

I'm going to go with a car shared by...
- Dani
- EP
- Hayden
Bit disappointing to see the same old men bouncing around the seats rather than a young talent, but I guess might be better for them to be in Rally2 anyway for the inevitable Rally2 WRC in 2027 and most of 2028....

After 8 years! he’s back!!! Finally Paddon is back, as is Lappi…and Sordo… but still, should be good.
Now we just need a proper livery, and for them to win the championship…should be a walk in the park

Hyundai wants the title, they don't have time to watch Mikkelsen or youngster crashing out every event.

That's great. Undeservedly didn't get to drive anymore imho. But he always kept pushing and now he his back. Hope he does good. Would be a nice story.

Hyundai doesn't have any plans or idea about this WRC campaign. Using same drivers, dropping same drivers, get same result, no junior support. This is a circle.

Regarding the history I know this isn’t the best of ideas and I’m sure they’ve already got Sordo locked in for the tarmac rounds and Portugal+Sardegna but I would absolutely love to see Paddon in Monte-Carlo and I also hope he doesn’t choose a stupid number like 99 or 69 or 15…it’s his first time without a designated number on the window…I know I know it’s not important but still….and I really hope they revert back to a non clown like livery…

So what would have been your idea in this situation? What were the options considering their goal i.e winning a championship?

In my opinion they did great job. Lappi can drive but just not full season, Sordo has always been solid and I think Paddon has the most hunger of all to prove something.

Lets go!! Paddon's pack!! How exciting to have my 2nd favourite driver back in the fold after Ott announced his hiatus. Groovy.
