Hi, friends!
It seems that current World Rally champion Thierry Neuville lost any chance of winning this year's championship. It is not yet mathematically over but his chances are really slim because lots of other drivers should retire at the next three events and he should also win everything. This is just not possible so he just want to finish this season as best as possible.
I guess that he had massive problems of adapting to new Hankook tires, as many other drivers. But there is a problem with his team of Hyundai which didn't run the team properly this year. Their team boss Cyril A. just failed in this and should be moved somewhere else because you don't lead the team with ransoms of FIA and WRC Promoter.
Hyundai used their homologation jokers too quickly but they were just not focused on World Rally Championship well enough because their team boss decided that they will go for circuit racing instead. Full focus is needed for this sport if you want success and nothing else counts.
At least they are trying with various tests. They sent Thierry Neuville on East Belgium Rally to contest there as a prepare for Central European Rally 2025, which is the last European event of the season. He also tested in Belgium at small town called Bullingen. Action was flat out, from start until the end.
Please enjoy...
