Hyundai confirms Elantra switch for 2021 WTCR season
2 days ago
Hyundai has confirmed that its two customer teams will switch to the all-new Elantra TCR for the 2021 World Touring Car Cup season.
The move comes after three years running the i30 N TCR – the car that won the title in both 2018 and 2019 with Gabriele Tarquini and Norbert Michelisz – with the Elantra set to make its debut on the world stage on the fearsome Nürburgring Nordschleife in June.
The car has so far only been seen in competition in the United States, where it is competing in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge.
