Hyundai believes that 'destroying so many things' in a disastrous Safari Rally Kenya earlier this year led to its historic 1-2-3 in Greece. WRC
Hyundai has been forced to play catch-up to its rivals this season following a late decision to commit to the WRC's new-for-2022 Rally1 hybrid regulations.
