The Hyundai Motorsport team has reported that in the Wales-Great Britain Rally, the last round of the 2015 World Cup, its two starters will be the Spanish Dani Sordo, as first driver, and New Zealander Hayden Paddon.
The brand explains that Belgian Thierry Neuville, who starts the entire championship, will compete in Wales with the Belgian satellite team Hyundai Mobis “in order to help the South Korean manufacturer to achieve the world championship runner-up.”
Hyundai will bring to Wales four units of the i20 WRC: Dani Sordo, with the car that Neuville usually drives; and Hayden Paddon, both representing Hyundai Shell; and Thierry Neuville and the Dutchman Kevin Abbring, with the Hyundai Mobis.
Through a press release, Hyundai Motorsport “reaffirms its full confidence in Neuville, whose presence in the team in 2016 has already been confirmed”, and “hopes that this decision will help the confidence of the Belgian team and test the ability of the Hyundai i20 WRC without the added pressure of being fighting for the championship.
