Belgian youngster Thierry Neuville signed up for season 2014 WRC in the Hyundai i20 WRC.  This guy has been very steady this year in the Ford, amassing a great haul of points in a car which has seen it's factory backing disappear and is obviously third best compared to the factory teams of VW and Citroen.  A real contender who has had his share of crashes but I see very much like Ari Vatanen in the 70's, has learnt from them and come back stronger.

A great decision IMO :goodjob:

Yes, saw this on Facebook a few hours ago with a photo of a car that was very striking in its design.
