Hyundai N enter two i30 N TCR for Nürburgring 24 Hours
Two #i30ntcr will take on the Nürburgring 24 Hours Qualifying Race and the ADAC Nürburgring 24 Hours The extended program for the car on the Nordschleife follows a class podium on its first outing in last month’s four-hour VLN event Two four-man teams will drive the entries in both events, bringing together a wealth of experience of #racing around the 25km circuit. Alzenau, Germany April 10, 2018 – Following a successful outing at the season opening VLN race last month the #hyundai N team will return to the Nürburgring Nordschleife with a pair of #i30ntcr cars for the Nürburgring 24 Hours Qualifying Race (April 14-15) and ADAC Nürburgring 24 Hours (May 10-13). The Nürburgring 24 Hours attracts vast grids and huge crowds every year. Its position as one of the highlights of the #racing season makes it the perfect occasion to showcase the performance of the #i30ntcr and the endurance #racing options designed for long-distance events where TCR cars are eligible. The endurance #racing package that will be sported by the cars at the Nürburgring is also available to customers. The options pack includes an ABS-system, additional lights for running during darkness and a kit that allows for fast refueling. The same experienced line-up of eight drivers will be split between the two cars for this weekend’s th six-hour Qualifying Race as will take the controls for the 46 running of the 24 Hours on the 25km circuit, famously dubbed the ‘Green Hell’. On the i30 N TCR’s maiden race on the fearsome circuit Gabriele Tarquini and Korean driver Jae-Kyun Kim finished a sensational third in class, despite losing time to contact at the very first corner. Though Tarquini will not be part of the endurance line-up, as he is concentrating on the FIA WTCR season and the Race of Germany that will take place on the Nordschleife during the 24 Hours weekend, Kim – a standout performer in VLN1 – will continue with the team for the longer races. Nicola Larini and Manuel Lauck will also reprise their roles with the team from VLN1, where they finished sixth in class despite a stop in the pits for repairs following an accident. The pair brings significant Nordschleife and 24 Hours experience, including a class win together in 2012, with a list of starts in equipment ranging from production cars to one-off exotica. Lauck will be joined in the line-up by his German compatriots Andreas Gülden and Peter Terting. Once again both men bring with them a considerable pedigree in endurance #racing, with Gülden – also a driving instructor on the Nordschleife – set to continue a string of ADAC Nürburgring 24 Hours starts that stretches back to 2012 and last year had him win the TCR class.
