Finally someone listened to our complaints, took them only two years but better late than never, now up to Hyundai to not look like clowns.

According to information obtained by RallyJournal.com, Hyundai has now said goodbye to Finland. For the 2026 season, Hyundai’s permanent test site will instead be located in France.

RallyJournal.com has asked Hyundai for official confirmation, but the team has not yet commented on the matter.

Reading stuff online that Ogier's 2026 Toyota will have Red Bull sponsorship... and that the M-Sport cars will no longer have any RB sponsorship.

Possibly this is why in the last serie of MthM Millner was talking about importance of having good performance in Saudi Arabia because they had a risk of loosing partners.
It will be interesting to see what sponsors they have this year. Possibly both cars will be painted in Irish flag only.

It is a pay driver team, so don't expect to see anyone really wanting to sponsor the team itself. Or you'd expect to at least have some podiums in a three team championship...
