For the seat was a bit of bad luck of a colleague necessary, but Abbring will drive in the factory-i20 on the Swedish snow, and that’s it.

Our fellow countryman Kevin Abbring went last year with Casper in a Peugeot RCZ to the panache, but this year he was by Hyundai bought away. Within the Korean team got Abbring a place as testcoureur, where it is not impossible to grow to become factory-backed rider.

However, official factory driver Dani Sordo broke with a mountain-bike accident 2 ribs, and so was pushed, with drivers for the second round of the WRC: Hayden Paddon takes place in Sordo’s i20 (#8), while Abbring back to Paddons car – the Hyundai Mobis World Rally Team is feeding.

Together with navigator Sebastian Marshall makes Abbring in the #20 Hyundai now Sweden is unsafe, and not entirely without merit: in SS5 klokte our compatriot to a 10th time, faster than Paddon, who as the 14th ended. In total-between position Abbring provisionally 19th.

Thanks to Gallardogt for the tip!
