🗣️ 'It will be tougher - Hyundai have been improving a lot in the season. We just need to work a bit better and we can't relax too much that is for sure.' Toyota WRC boss Jari-Matti Latvala is expecting a strong challenge from Hyundai next year:
The South Korean brand therefore outscored Toyota in terms of victories, 4-3, in the second half of the campaign.
While Toyota’s GR Yaris was near bullet proof, it struggled on rough gravel rallies such as Sardinia and Greece, which is an area the team will target to improve heading into 2023. Having witnessed Hyundai’s strong end to this season, Latvala is expecting a much tougher title challenge next year."Hyundai have been improving a lot in the season. We just need to work a bit better and we can’t relax too much that is for sure.“We will do some winter testing in December, we will have a couple of weeks off but then of course it all starts again.”
