Hyundai at ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring 2025: A Decade of Racing Excellence
Hyundai Motor Company is preparing for a significant milestone at the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring 2025, marking its 10th consecutive year participating in the renowned endurance race. Taking place on June 21–22, 2025, at Germany's challenging Nürburgring Nordschleife, this event serves as a crucial platform for showcasing Hyundai's high-performance production models and solidifying its presence in motorsport.
At the forefront of Hyundai's racing efforts are two ELANTRA N TCR race cars competing in the TCR Class, aiming for their fifth consecutive victory. Team Europe will field the #830 ELANTRA N TCR, driven by Marc Basseng, Manuel Lauck, and Christer Joens, while Team Americas will bring the #831 entry, piloted by Bryson Morris, Michael Lewis, Mason Filippi, and Robert Wickens. Wickens, a paraplegic athlete, will utilize a specially adapted hand control system, embodying Hyundai's inclusive ethos and commitment to accessible motorsport.
A significant moment awaits as Hyundai's ELANTRA N1 Cup car (known as the AVANTE N1 Cup car in Korea) makes its debut at the Nürburgring in the SP3T Class, expanding Hyundai's one-make race series onto the global stage. Competing under car #303, this vehicle will be driven by an international lineup, showcasing Hyundai's global presence and dedication to nurturing motorsport talent.
Since its introduction in 2016, Hyundai has utilized the Nürburgring 24 Hours as a real-world testing ground for its N brand, pushing the limits of performance, durability, and teamwork. Partnering with leading suppliers like Hankook Tire, Titan 7, and AST Suspension, Hyundai is ensuring peak performance for its ELANTRA N1 Cup car, underscoring its commitment to motorsports engineering.
In tandem with its Nürburgring 2025 campaign, Hyundai is expanding its one-make racing programs to Europe, enhancing brand visibility and engaging performance enthusiasts worldwide. This strategic move aims to strengthen loyalty among Hyundai N fans and promote its racing DNA on a global scale.
To celebrate a decade at the Nürburgring, Hyundai Motor is launching a dedicated promotional campaign featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes content, race footage, and driver interviews. These initiatives are designed to showcase Hyundai's transformation from a challenger brand to a dominant force in the TCR Class and beyond.
