Juho
Hänninen has been confirmed this morning as the driver of the second Hyundai Motorsport i20
WRC car at February’s Rally Sweden in the 2014 WRC. Hyundai has yet to reveal
who will join team leader Thierry Neuville in the second car at the opening round of the world series in Monte Carlo.
The choice
of the 32-year-old Finn comes as no real surprise since he has been involved
with Hyundai Motorsport throughout 2013 and completed 3,500 kms of testing with
the new car.
Hyundai has
already stated that a number of different drivers will share the second i20 WRC
throughout 2014, which is good news for aspiring and talented youngsters. There
is a distinct lack of available seats these days at rallying’s top level so
this move has to be welcomed.
