Hyundai retires from Nurburgring
The decision, announced on the day the action on the track will begin with testing and qualifying, follows the arguments at the opening of the season at Zolder related to ecu exemptions granted to certain cars on the grid.
Hyundai Motorsport boss Andrea Adamo also criticized the BOP at the i30 N TCR after Hyundai drivers struggled on the track in Belgium, and the Korean logo now reveals that he will withdraw from the German race accordingly.
“Hyundai Motorsport has announced that its consumer groups will not participate in the WTCR – FiA World Tour of Germany (24-26 September), he told.
“Hyundai Motorsport feels that neither the company nor its groups of visitors receive the same treatment in the series as other competitions and do not feel welcome.
“Hyundai Motorsport will be represented in Germany through BRC Hyundai N LUKOIL Squadra Corse (Norbert Michelisz and Gabriele Tarquini) and the Engstler Hyundai N Liqui Moly Racing Team (Luca Engstler and Nicky Catsburg). Both groups are already on the Nurburgring circuit.
“Hyundai Motorsport remains committed to demonstrating the superior functionality qualities of its racing cars on the foreign stage, in series that reflect Hyundai’s N brand.
“The company’s participation in Nurburgring’s 24 hours is affected by this decision. “
News of the withdrawal comes after the latest BOP reviews saw Hyundai increase its strength from 95% to 97. 5%.
