Hyundai is reportedly on the brink of announcing its entry into the Hypercar and GTP sports car programs, although no official confirmation has been released yet. Sources have hinted at a potential partnership with ORECA for an LMDh car in the FIA World Endurance Championship, with staff members already preparing to move to the south of France. The Korean-based manufacturer is anticipated to participate in the FIA WEC starting in 2026 with an in-house team and is currently gathering industry expertise for the endeavor. To gain experience with ACO rules, Hyundai is expected to field a team in LMP2 in the 2025 European Le Mans Series, potentially in collaboration with existing ELMS teams. In IMSA, whether under the Hyundai or Genesis brand, several service providers are being considered, including a potential partnership with Chip Ganassi Racing.
