Hyundai confident Tanak’s WRC engine issue won’t return in Sweden
In Monte Carlo, all three Hyundai cars experienced issues with the anti-lag system, impacting Tanak the most due to his driving style, as acknowledged by team principal Cyril Abiteboul. Hyundai has identified the issue and plans to address it with new software to be homologated before the rally in Croatia in April. Despite the upcoming rally in Sweden, Hyundai and Tanak are confident the problem won’t affect their performance on the snow-covered roads. Abiteboul has noted that returning world champion Kalle Rovanpera is the favorite for Rally Sweden, but he trusts that Tanak, Neuville, and Lappi can put up a good fight. Despite facing starting disadvantages, championship leader Neuville aims for a podium finish in Sweden, despite software issues during pre-event testing, ensuring he is prepared for the challenges ahead.
