The Hyundai DPi clue is slowly unfolding...

On mwm, Goodwin said to look at the final LM entry list for a clue on the Hyundai story. What does that have to do with DPi? Is there some missing link we're not seeing?

I saw you(?) posted that before but I never put it together. I know he's running the Kolles car, but is that the link for the Hyundai story or just a test for fun in the rally car? How serious was that outing for the two?

I think see if any Hyundai branding appears on anything or see if any Koreans are in a driver lineup or two later.

I think what Graham Goodwin meant to say, was that when DPi was accepted at Le Mans, the race would be doomed, so that hypothetical year's line-up would indeed be the "final" Le Mans entry.
Hyundai wants to kill sportscar racing to get more attention on its rally program. More than just a rumor? |

^ Bravo. Perfect response. Made working on Sunday a little less painful.
Not as good as crack, though. |

I've seen that kind of performance described as going well, or at least promising, elsewhere!

"Shows potential" I think is the standard phrase I think.

Racer.com briefly today had a link to a "Penske Honda DPi expected in 2018" story on their homepage; it never opened and the link disappeared very quickly...

Note that Ganassi doesn't use his NASCAR drivers in the Ford GT program, because Chevy doesn't want their drivers up against Corvette Racing. Hyundai is still heavily rumored to be going with Joest, who are also tied to Audi DPi or GTLM (highly unlikely IMO) programs. Chris |
