Does the WRC need 'new VW' to fail in 2018?

It didn't win the title last season, but all signs point to Hyundai being able to dominate the 2018 World Rally Championship like Volkswagen did before. Is it that straightforward?

There's a man standing opposite me; he's shouting at me. He wasn't. But he is now. A cleaned-up, family-friendly precis of his argument goes something like this: You know as much about the World Rally Championship as Donald Trump knows about globalisation and international relations.

My brother-in-law is a dyed-in-the-wool rally fan. He refuses to drive anything other than a Ford and laughs in the face of folk who fail to recognise the RS1800 as anything other than God's own motor. Given that Clive is a six-and-a-half-foot second-rower, people soon come around to his way of thinking.
