Hyundai WRT

Hyundai can't aim for manu title with a youngster learning the "difficult" Hyundai. That's no-sense.

Lappi and Sordo are great drivers, but none of them can be the fastest on tarmac. So why not going for Paddon.

I never understood why Hyundaï isn't trying to do for young local drivers like Toyota: aren't there any promising talented south korean drivers for the job

First and last time they tried... not good

Solberg won his only rally in a rc1 car.

You never know.

Congratulations to toyota on becoming 2026 world champions.

Maybe Hyundai wants to set a record and let toyota win every rally next year.

Whoever they chose that wouldn't be a surprise. Hyundai couldn't even complete when having Neuville, Tanak and Fourmaux in the 3rd car.

Not complete failure. Co-driver of that fella actually did help and won driver and co-driver title.

Solberg won his only rally in a rc1 car.

You never know.

Was his 14th round or smth and he did previous 13 rounds with Hyundai with no results.

Abiteboul explains why it went wrong for them in 2025:

"We spent a winter finally working on this new car. And we did not work on three new elements that appeared: the end of the hybrid, the change of tyres and the change of fuel. All our efforts, our focus, our test days and our jokers went into this new car and not into these three elements, which changed things quite a lot and penalised us in the end. We arrived in Monte Carlo not at all prepared for how the Hankooks work on tarmac because we had been working on other things”

A strategy matter then...

Hyundai seems operate as individual and not as a team - Tom Fowler...

To me it looks like they are never ready. Always there is excuses. Always something. How could they not even considerate of doing work on fuel, tyres and power without hybrid... I think that they lost all motivation even before they start the 2025 season.
