NÜRBURGRING/SEOUL, June 23, 2025 – Hyundai Motor Company’s high-performance N brand clinched its fifth consecutive TCR class victory while marking its 10th straight appearance at the 24h Nürburgring. The annual 24-hour ‘Green Hell’ endurance race continues to serve as a premier platform for showcasing Hyundai’s technological excellence and motorsport prowess.
Hyundai N fielded two ELANTRA N TCR race cars in the TCR class and debuted the ELANTRA N1 Cup car in the SP3T class. Held over June 21-22 in Nurburg, Germany, the race saw two ELANTRA N TCR race car completing one of the most world’s most demanding endurance tests.
Hyundai N’s ELANTRA N TCR (known as the AVANTE N TCR in Korea) swept the TCR class with a dominant one-two finish, securing Hyundai N’s fifth consecutive class win and underlining the superior durability and performance of N products.
“We are elated with our fifth straight victory in the Nürburgring TCR class and our 10th consecutive year of participation,” said Joon Park, Vice President and Head of N Brand Management Group. “Being part of this celebration of endurance, innovation and global collaboration reflects our unwavering commitment to motorsport and our high-performance heritage. It enables us to continue advancing high-performance N brand technology and delivering cars that provide true driving pleasure.”
The ADAC RAVENOL 24hr Nürburgring stands among the world’s most demanding endurance races, challenging drivers and teams to conquer the legendary 25.378-kilometer Nürburgring Nordschleife in a grueling 24-hour test of speed, skill and stamina. Since its debut at the event in 2016, Hyundai has leveraged this platform to advance the capabilities of its production-based N brand vehicles. The race also serves as a key data gathering opportunity to improve performance and durability, underscoring the company’s commitment to innovation and excellence.
Hyundai N’s TCR team secured its fifth consecutive class victory led by a German driver lineup featuring Marc Basseng, Manuel Lauck and Christer Joens in ELANTRA N #1. Meanwhile, the North American team — comprising Bryson Morris, Michael Louis, Mason Filippi and Robert Wickens — delivered a strong performance in ELANTRA N #2, finishing in a well-earned second place.
Wickens’ return to racing following a 2024 hiatus was especially noteworthy. Driving with a custom hand-control system, the paraplegic Canadian athlete once again demonstrated elite level skill and determination. His story of resilience embodies Hyundai Motor’s belief that motorsport is for anyone with the passion to dream.
Hyundai also debuted in the SP3T class with the ELANTRA N1 Cup car. However, the ELANTRA N1 Cup car was forced to retire from the race after 17 hours due to a rear-end collision with another competitor.
Hyundai also joined forces with Toyota to host a joint booth at this year’s Nürburgring 24 Hours, demonstrating how motorsport can foster collaboration beyond competition. Together, the two brands shared their mutual passion for performance and innovation with fans from around the world. This partnership builds on the spirit of camaraderie established at the “Hyundai N x TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Festival” held at Korea’s Yongin Speedway in October 2024 and most recently, executives from both companies attended the final round of the 2024 World Rally Championship (WRC) in Japan.
