Jean-Karl Vernay joins the Veloster N ETCR program

Hyundai continues its ETCR program in preparation for the debut of the first electric touring car championship. The South Korean firm plans to enter a Veloster N ETCR there, in development for several months now.

For this project, Hyundai called on the Brazilian Augusto Farfus who was able to test the car on the track. From now on, the South American is no longer alone. The South Korean manufacturer has indeed confirmed the appointment of Jean-Karl Vernay as test and development driver for the Veloster N ETCR program.

« I am very happy to join the Veloster N ETCR project as a Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing driver, smiles the Frenchman. When the opportunity was presented to me, I couldn't refuse it. Being able to work with a manufacturer of this size is always incredible and Hyundai Motorsport has a long term plan and I am delighted to be part of it ».

Jean-Karl Vernay will have the opportunity to try the Veloster N ETCR in the coming weeks. Its full program for 2021 will be announced later.
