Last week we showed you Hyundai testing on the French tarmac. More recently they have been putting their i20 WRC project through its paces on the fast, flowing Finnish gravel with Juho Hänninen at the controls. Hänninen was impressed after his first serious gravel test in the car. “I was positively surprised with the handling of the i20 WRC after the first run. When you go to Finland for the first time you never know what to expect; sometimes, it can be really rough and there can be a lot of work required on the suspension. In this case, though, it was really easy from the first day and we were able to work making only minor adjustments. The car reacted very well to every change we made throughout the five days. I felt that I could trust the car immediately and the feeling got stronger day after day.” With test sessions planned almost every two weeks, Hyundai Motorsport now faces the busiest time of the development phase ahead of its entry into next year’s FIA World Rally Championship. youtube/watch?v=mBASk7bddCo
