Hyundai's Rally Japan is one to forget.

Never in contention for the win, the South Koreans settled for a group finish, securing 5th to 7th place. This was as expected on a surface they don't master.

To everyone… you know I'm a Hyundai fan… this is my fourth model, the latest an i30N, fully loaded, a joy to drive, and the sound is amazing… 👍… but in rallying, it's time for Hyundai to withdraw… or decide to fully commit like Toyota. Thierry has to announce his retirement at the end of the season, the time has come… unfortunately, Fourmaux is the first driver… and a second great driver for the future!!!!! 😎👀🧐 alainkf1@pt.lu

It says: "Neuville (5* ahead of Fourmaux)" I thought it was the other way around! If even Pierre Barré writes blunders, where is Auto Hebdo headed?
