Hyundai prepares for Monte-Carlo 2022

Unlike M-Sport or the family Toyota Gazoo Racing, Hyundai n’a pas choisi le sud de la France et les alentours de Gap pour réaliser ses essais préparatoires au Monte-Carlo 2022 (20-23 janvier). L’équipe dirigée par Andrea Adamo s’est installée dans les Vosges, une région où elle est déjà venue. Ott Tänak was the first driver to take the wheel and the Estonian was surprised to have to drive under the snow! It is in fact in conditions worthy of rally from Sweden that the 2019 world champion had to carry out his tests, making a small exit in a curve where he could not control the slip of his mount. The latter had abandoned its blue color and its camouflage observed recently for an immaculate white to match the decor!

As Andrea Adamo had suggested, the Korean differed from the one that the Italian boss described as a “prototype” and which had been exploited until now. On the car used by Tänak, the rear wing was more prominent and protruded well above the bumper. The front end had also undergone changes with fenders now flatter than before. It would not be surprising if Thierry Neuville then Oliver Solberg also have a day with their future Rally1.
