Hyundai Motorsport - in fast and furious Rally Finland

Hyundai Motorsport - in fast and furious Rally Finland

Date: 2017-07-28

Hyundai Motorsport aims to extend its run of podium results to seven consecutive events as the team searches for its first-ever top-three finish in Rally Finland, the ninth round of the 2017 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC).

In its four years of competition within the WRC, Hyundai Motorsport has claimed a podium at every other event on the calendar except for Rally Finland - a statistic the team is determined to change this weekend.

The team is certainly in good form, having secured its best ever team performance at the last round in Poland with a 1-2-4 for its drivers Thierry Neuville, Hayden Paddon and Dani Sordo. The result, the team's third victory of the season, enabled Hyundai Motorsport to close the gap to M-Sport in the Manufacturers' Championship to 22 points.

With the university town of Jyva skyla as its base, Rally Finland's blisteringly quick gravel roads running through the Finnish forests will push the Hyundai Shell Mobis World Rally Team crews to the limit as they chase victory.

Famed for its exciting action, big jumps and even bigger speeds, Finland has always been viewed as a classic rally and one of the most spectacular events on the WRC calendar. Nine of the ten fastest WRC rallies have taken place here, with last year's edition being the fastest rally in WRC history.

Team Principal Michel Nandan commented: "Poland was a fantastic result for everybody within the team. However, we know that the hard work does not stop there. We must maintain our levels of effort and concentration if we want to stay in the championship fight. Finland is always one of the most exciting rallies of the season and this year will be no different.
