Hyundai Motorsport N aim to continue winning form

After taking its first Manufacturer and King of the Weekend crowns of the season at the fifth round of the FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup, Race IT, Hyundai Motorsport N is determined to continue its winning ways. Mikel Azcona was the man of the moment for the squad as he scored maximum points in every round at Vallelunga but there were strong performances from the other three Hyundai Motorsport N drivers as Nicky Catsburg and Jean-Karl Vernay secured a Hyundai Veloster N ETCR 1-2 in Pool Furious Quarter Final 2, with Norbert Michelisz taking victory in Pool Fast’s Quarter Final 2.

“All of our drivers have been competitive this weekend as we chased that elusive first Manufacturer and King of the Weekend. The team has worked so hard to continue improving and maximising our potential, and it has paid off here at Race IT.

It is a fitting return to the location of the Hyundai Veloster N ETCR’s first-ever victory, and now the target is to continue this form in the final events of the season.” En route to being crowned King of the Weekend, Azcona demonstrated blistering pace from the first session of the weekend and went on to top the timesheets with both his Qualifying attempts in Pool Fast. Starting from pole in Quarter Final 1, he briefly lost the position to Bruno Spengler at turn one but managed to successfully undercut at the fourth corner to regain the place.
