Hyundai reveals upgraded 2024 WRC challenger
Hyundai has unveiled the upgraded i20 N with a new livery design featuring the manufacturer’s sky blue and orange colors. They used homologation jokers during the off-season to focus on weight reduction and reliability improvements. The team has also partnered with Akrapovic to develop the exhaust and thermal management systems. Hyundai aims to win the drivers’ title and end Toyota’s three-year reign as manufacturers’ champions. Ott Tanak has rejoined the team and will join Thierry Neuville as the main drivers, with Dani Sordo, Esapekka Lappi, and Andreas Mikkelsen sharing the third car. Team principal Cyril Abiteboul believes they have the right elements for success this year and beyond. The new WRC season starts with the Monte Carlo rally in January.
