A second Hyundai i30 N car will be on the grid for the winner-takes-all event of the 2021 TCR New Zealand championship at Highlands Motorsport Park, Cromwell, 23-24 April 2021. Jaden Ransley has entered the three-race format to decide the overall NZ Touring Car title holder for the season, in a field that is expected to be highly competitive.
Ransley’s recent background has been competing in the TR86 championship both here in NZ as well as Australia.
“The Hyundai TCR it’s an awesome car,” said Ransley. “As a front-wheel-drive, it’s completely different to the rear-wheel-drive TR86. It’s fast in qualifying where I expect others to be quick and has really good race pace. The one round title decider is a great concept. The pressure will be on everyone to perform at the round as one bad race may well put you out of contention.”
Ransley’s entry is the second Hyundai i30N car to join the grid, with Gene Rollinson confirming his entry in February.
