Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing commits to TCR World Tour

Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing will be represented by two Hyundai Elantra N cars in the first season of the TCR World Tour. 

More details Hyundai Motorsport’s customer team for the series will be announced closer to the start of the season.

Hyundai Motorsport Team Principal Cyril Abiteboul said: “The Customer Racing department and TCR programme are very important elements of Hyundai Motorsport. Just like the start of our work on the Hyundai i30 N TCR in 2016, and then the development of the Hyundai Elantra N TCR, the dawn of the TCR World Tour brings another fresh challenge. We embrace this new era with the experience and expertise gained from years of success in the WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup and the confidence that we can start the season with the same strength we have shown before.” 

Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing Manager Andrea Cisotti said: “As a manufacturer we enjoyed incredible success in WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup, and we look forward to continuing this record with our customers this season. The TCR World Tour promises to deliver the same exciting, close racing as its predecessor. The events that have already been confirmed will take the series to a truly global audience and some of the best race circuits in the world. This will be only one of several new challenges for our customers and their drivers, but one for which we will support them entirely.”
