The World Rally Championship points leader’s future is yet to be resolved for 2025
Thierry Neuville is hopeful contract renewal talks can begin soon once Hyundai’s plan to utilise its development jokers for its World Rally Championship car is confirmed. The WRC points leader is in the final year of his current contract with the Korean marque, that marks his 11th season with the Alzenau operation.
“I believe that it is going well but I have no confirmation, so let’s see. If I get confirmation it will start very soon.” Thierry Neuville, Martijn Wydaeghe, Hyundai World Rally Team Hyundai i20 N Rally1 Photo by: McKlein / Motorsport Images Neuville is however relieved that the World Motor Sport Council decided to uphold the request of the manufacturers to retain the current Rally1 and Rally2 technical regulations until the end of 2026.
