Hi! Just a quick little update to a previous skin. The 2021 model of the Hyundai i20 WRC was added into NGP7 so i felt it would be nice to convert the skin I made for the 2020 version to it. So here it is, no story this time because you can read it from the other post.  < < < DOWNLOAD > > > !! MODEL is the i20_wrc_21 !! Again, i'm using the base Hyundai skin made by PetrovPG, thank you again for letting me edit and use it further.  If you are searching the skin for 2020 version of the car, it's here

SKIN - Teemu Suninen / Mikko Markkula - VW Polo R5 - Secto Rally Finland 2021

2021 was a year of highs and lows for Teemu Suninen. Starting off with a SS1 crash in Monte Carlo started a snowball effect which gradually led to him being replaced by Adrien Fourmaux at M-Sport's WRC roster. Undeniable highlight of the year was his home rally, the newly rebranded Secto Rally Finland. He entered the rally with Printsport's Polo R5 with the backing of a Finnish businessman Markku Rautio.  He well and truly delivered a brilliant performance, winning WRC2 comfortably over the competitors like Mads Östberg, Emil Lindholm and Nikolay Gryazin.  In the pictures here you see him on SS1, resulting in 7th best time in WRC2, 1.56,0. Differently to the usual schedule, the Harju stage was driven in the middle of the day on Friday and at night time on Saturday evening.  This result launched him into getting a seat at Hyundai's WRC2 team, and even getting into the WRC car for Rally Monza due to Ott's absence. In the latter half of the year he actually drove 5 consecu...

SKIN - Teemu Suninen / Mikko Markkula - Rally Sweden 2023 - Hyundai i20 Rally2

Hello everyone, it's been a long time. I come back with a new skin for the recent car addition to NGP7, the Hyundai i20 Rally2.   Teemu Suninen started his 2023 season with an outing in Sweden amongst one of the strongest WRC2 fields ever. After SS4 he was 3rd in class, but after that unfortunately some mechanical problems on ruined a promisingly started rally. After the disappointment of day 1 there was nothing to fight for and he finished 6th in WRC2. Let's hope he has better car for the rest of the season and can fight against the new Skoda drivers.  Enjoy! < < < DOWNLOAD > > > As usual, you need to unzip the .7z pack into the main folder of your Rallysimfans RBR installation.

SKIN - Teemu Suninen / Mikko Markkula - Rally Monza 2021 - Hyundai i20 WRC 2020

Another week, another Teemu Suninen skin. This is the skin from the last event of 2021 and his first WRC outing for Hyundai. In this rally he became the first and only Finnish driver to participate in a WRC rally in the 2017-spec Hyundai i20 WRC, in the last event it was possible to do.  The rally started on Friday a tad carefully for him, being 7th fastest on all 7 stages.  Understandable, when you have a one-time chance to shine without much previous experience of the car. Take into account the struggles of other drivers who drove the Hyundai on tarmac, even Sébastien Loeb, the car was clearly not an easy car to drive.  Despite that, the pace got better on saturday and sunday and he was able to post 2 top3 stage times, on SS10 San Fermo 2 and SS15 Serraglio 1. The finishing position was 6th, about half a second per kilometer behind the winners. With this result, he stepped a foot inside the Hyundai team and is poaching at the opportunity of getting a Rally1 drive in 202...

SKIN - Teemu Suninen / Mikko Markkula - Rally Finland 2016 - Skoda Fabia R5 (b)

Image
Hello! Finally time for a Teemu Suninen skin. This is his 2016 Rally Finland car when he was driving for the French Team Oreca in the first generation Skoda Fabia R5.   2016 was a big make it or break it year for Suninen, with both eyes aimed at one of the few World Rally Car seats for the 2017 season. He drove the full WRC2 season with Team Oreca's Skoda Fabia R5 and managed to clinch 2nd position, on equal points with Elfyn Evans and only 10 points behind Esapekka Lappi. 3 wins and a few podiums caught Malcolm Wilson's eye and he earned himself a move to M-Sport, mainly in the WRC2 class plus two rallies in the Fiesta WRC in 2017. Overall 2016 was probably the most competitive WRC2 field to this date, with the likes of Lappi, Evans, Tidemand and Kopecky all fighting for wins, which made his results even more impressive.  In Rally Finland the fight for win was only between Suninen and Lappi. After Friday, Lappi was leading by 42,5 seconds. On Saturday and Sunday Teemu's ...
