Prior to the WRC teams arrival in Catalonia last week for Rally de
España, Hyundai was putting some serious miles on the new i20 WRC car over some
of those very same stages.
This gave the new team some pretty good data to see how development
is progressing and follows on from a week of testing earlier in October in southern
Spain as well as some tarmac testing at Baumholder in Germany in the Arena
Panzerplatte area which is used on Rallye Deutschland.
Juho Hänninen and Chris Atkinson did most of the driving which
comprised a total of 15 days and more than 1000 kms (620 miles) on both gravel
and tarmac.
