Suninen confident for Monza after test with Hyundai

Called at the last minute to compensate for the lack ofOtt Tänak, forced to withdraw for family reasons, Teemu Suninen will participate in the Rally de Monza avec Hyundai. Afin de préparer au mieux son remplaçant de luxe pour cet ultime rendez-vous de l’année, le constructeur sud-coréen a organisé une séance privée de l’autre côté des Alpes où il a pu prendre ses première marques.

« I came home from the tests feeling happy. I have a good feeling and the car is nice, a soufflé l’ancien pilote M-Sport après sa première expérience à bord de l’i20. It was quite easy to ride and I quickly gained confidence. It was only one day so I didn't have much time to work on many settings. I worked on the settings. Mine will be like those of my teammates but that suits me. I know I'm going to have to adapt to the car, but I'm ready to do it. »

Trapped at Monza last year and forced to throw in the towel, Teemu Suninen hopes this time to go to the end of the rally and above all to compete in good weather conditions after the snowy episode of 2020. “ I hope conditions will be more stable next week. My testing mainly took place in the dry, so it would be good to race in these conditions. I know more about the car with such settings and it would give me a chance to show what I can do on asphalt."
