Hyundai withdraws from the round at the Nürburgring

En voilà une annonce qui devrait faire beaucoup de bruit dans le paddock du Nürburgring ce week-end. À travers un communiqué ce jeudi matin, Hyundai a confirmé que ses équipes clientes ne prendront pas le départ de la manche allemande en raison des inégalités techniques concernant le boîtier de contrôle électronique.

« Hyundai Motorsport feels that the company and its customer teams do not receive the same treatment in the series (WTCR) as other competitors, making them feel unwelcome. ».

At the Nürburgring, Hyundai Motorsport was to be represented by BRC Hyundai N LUKOIL Squadra Corse (Norbert Michelisz and Gabriele Tarquini) and Engstler Hyundai N Liqui Moly Racing Team (Luca Engstler and Nicky Catsburg). There are therefore four cars which will be absent from the grid.

« Hyundai Motorsports remains committed to demonstrating the performance of its racing vehicles on the international stage, as well as in the representative series of the Hyundai N branch (the high-performance division of cars produced by Hyundai).”
