•    The Hyundai i20 N Rally2 won the WRC2 category of Ypres Rally Belgium on its competitive debut with Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing Junior Driver Jari Huttunen


•    Hyundai Portugal-supported driver Bruno Magalhães scored maximum points for the national championship in his i20 R5 at Rali Vinho da Madeira


•    Hyundai Veloster N TCR customer Van der Steur Racing claimed their first podium of the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season, finishing second at Road America.
 




Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing Manager Andrew Johns said: “Victory on its competitive debut at Ypres Rally Belgium is a great way to begin the Hyundai i20 N Rally2’s life on the stages. Ypres was an incredibly tough event with unique stages, but the pace shown by both Jari and Oliver to take stage wins straight away was very encouraging.



We know there is a lot of work ahead, but this is a nice first step. Our i20 R5 crews on the same event were also hugely impressive, with a career best for Josh and a performance from Grégoire that would have had him battling for WRC3 victory, if not for one moment.



In TCR our customers continue to show the proven strength of all of our models. After strong showings in previous rounds Van der Steur Racing have finally claimed a first podium in the USA, while in the UK i30 N TCR continue to be regularly be the ones of beat.”
