What we do Explore our company profile. Rally Rallying has formed the backbone of Hyundai Motorsport since our earliest days. From our participation in the FIA World Rally Championship to the support of our customers, Hyundai has become a well-known name in rally series around the world. From a blank sheet of paper, we have developed our credentials against tough opposition. Our R5 has lit up the stages since 2016, and in 2020 our brand-new i20 N Rally2 was revealed for privateer teams and drivers. Our first WRC manufacturers’ title in 2019 strengthened our reputation in the global motorsport community, and we successfully repeated the feat a year later in 2020. Racing Success on the world’s rally stages led to our foray into circuit racing with the i30 N TCR. It was a move that paid dividends as we showcased our capabilities to customers around the world. The i30 N TCR took title honours in the inaugural FIA WTCR season, followed by a successful defence of the drivers’ championship in 2019. The Veloster N TCR and Elantra N TCR have since joined our roster, and we opened an exciting new chapter with our first-ever electric racing car, the Veloster N ETCR. Our History Established on 19 December 2012, Hyundai Motorsport GmbH (HMSG) is responsible for Hyundai’s global motorsport activities, including WRC and Customer Racing. 2020 Defending champions There was one vital goal for our team in 2020: to one again bring home the WRC title. Despite a disrupted season, we successfully completed our mission. With three wins, 11 podiums and 54 stage wins, our company triumphed in the manufacturers’ championship for the second consecutive year. Our customers were also affected as a result of the global pandemic, with many series forced to cancel or condense their seasons. Nevertheless, the i20 R5, i30 N TCR and Veloster N TCR continued to demonstrate their competitiveness around the world. Second consecutive WRC manufacturers’ title Three victories in Monte-Carlo, Estonia and Sardinia TCR customers claimed 12 titles, 67 wins, 148 podiums and 68 pole positions in 2020 i20 R5 customers secured 3 titles, 37 wins, 105 podiums and 292 stage wins 2019 On top of the world A momentous year for our company was capped with an inaugural WRC manufacturers’ title, following four victories and a season full of highlights. There was also plenty of success for our customers around the world. Norbert Michelisz powered the i30 N TCR to its second consecutive FIA WTCR championship, while the i20 R5, i30 N TCR and Veloster N TCR racked up more wins and titles in 2019.
