Dani Sordo delighted with the approach taken with the 20 Hyundai i2017

Extended within the Korean brand to evolve on the new i20 Coupe WRC this season, Dani Sordo was one of the first to debut the latest from the Alzenau workshops in Germany on asphalt in testing last August.

In the opinion of the former Citroën Racing driver, the choices made on the i20 meeting the new technical regulations are going in the right direction.

“I am personally happy with the approach we have taken with our new car. I know the team has worked incredibly hard so we want to go into the stages and do our best for a good start to the season. » comments the Catalan.

Hyundai has completed more than 6000 km of testing, and is still continuing its runs to prepare for the Monegasque classic which could reserve its share of surprises with the new WRCs, more powerful than their predecessors.

“We have gathered all the experience from our first three seasons in the WRC and we hope that we will be able to fight at the front with our new car, explains Team Principal Michel Nandan.

We have real stability with our three crews, all looking to build on our most successful season. Monte-Carlo will be a first serious test against tough opposition, but we are confident and will give everything we have. »
