    Exactly, the situation now is completely different with Cyril and FX onboard

    I still can't understand, how 2022 season was a complete mess-up from Hyundai. I mean team leading wise.. South-Korean-German team and total mess was totally unacceptable to me.

    Somehow they won more rallies last year. This year only twice and actually when their competitors were in trouble or gave up…

    In 2022 there were 2 drivers able to win an event - next year they will win at least 5 rallies (Neuville winning tarmac rallies and Tanak winning fast gravel, mostly) On rough and slow gravel it will depend on reliability

    I don't have faith in Hyundai engineers and their ability to make a car that is reliable enough to compete with Toyota. You can have the best team principal in the world or the best driver in the world, but your car needs to be up to par. It's 4 seasons it's not (incredible how they won the 2020 manufacturer title, but it was certainly an atypical season...) and I don't think it will reach Toyota, but let's hope...

    It's not just the team principal, they have FX and Loriaux as well.

    Let's see if Loriaux will be able to close the reliability gap. At least the team realized where their problem is at.

    Hyundai has been struggling with suspension issues all the time
