Dani Sordo Injects New Energy into Hyundai’s WRC Campaign Against Toyota

Hyundai’s World Rally Championship campaign has faced significant hurdles this season, primarily due to difficulties in extracting consistent speed from the i20 N Rally1.

The car’s narrow operating window has left the team struggling to keep pace with Toyota.

In this challenging context, team boss Andrew Wheatley highlights the arrival of Dani Sordo as a pivotal moment.

Sordo has introduced fresh ideas and a new perspective, described by Wheatley as a “breath of fresh air.” This injection of innovation and experience aims to help Hyundai unlock the potential of their car and close the gap to their rivals.

While the battle remains intense, Sordo’s influence is seen as a key factor in Hyundai’s ongoing efforts to overcome their performance issues and mount a stronger challenge against Toyota in the championship.
