Hyundai to debut WRC reliability upgrades in 2024
Despite significant improvements to their i20N this season, Hyundai still lags behind Toyota in terms of reliability and performance, hindering their chances of winning the championship. With the addition of experienced technical director Francois-Xavier Demaison, Hyundai is focused on further developing the i20N through the use of the October joker development window for next year. However, reliability issues, exemplified by propshaft failures at the Safari Rally Kenya, remain a concern and will be the team’s main focus for improvement. Team principal Cyril Abiteboul has confirmed that they will not rush to debut any reliability upgrades at the final event in Japan, as their attention is already on the 2024 season. With the addition of Ott Tanak alongside Thierry Neuville for next year, Hyundai aims to be a strong contender for the 2024 WRC title.
