Seb Ogier has decided to add Kenya on his list of events to start.

Looks like the Monte result may very well have influenced this decision. Hyundai won't enjoy facing a full complement of Yaris' on the African classic.

What's the problem with this guy? Is he completely nuts. He is slow, unreliable, and now so full of himself too. Basically doesn't have any achievement in rallying at all, and saying that he is aiming to replace Paddon at Hyundai. What a douchebag.

"News is arriving from Belgium about a potential new tuner for the 2027 WRC, led by BMA, Serderidis, and Munster. They are reportedly negotiating for an i20 Rally1 to compete in Croatia, Gran Canaria, and Japan… These same reports mention that the Belgian driver was in Germany this week for a series of tests organized by Hyundai."

The car is awful on tarmac, Munster is awful driver and what can we expect out of that?

I think this news is not correct. Munster was indeed speaking with Hyundai, but he is trying to put up a program with Rally 2 car. Seems he will do indeed Croatia, Canaries and Japan but with Rally 2 Hyundai. As BMA is still running Hyundai cars, this is far more possible. They are now trying to expand the program with gravel rallies.

BMA... isn't this his father's team, Bernard Munster Autosport ?

He's said previously that he wants to be ready for WRC27, so will want to get used to a Rally2 car again. Maybe if Hyundai stay as a factory team he sees a chance of a seat there next year...

That is correct, BMA is his father's team.They are preparing Hyundai Rally 2 cars since several years. Cedric Cherain became Belgian champion with one of their cars.
